"Research data management has become an inevitable part of research, and both funding agencies and publishers nowadays require open and reusable data. This article focuses on one of the most prominent initiatives promoting reusability of research data – the FAIR guiding principles – nowadays widely accepted as the new standard for research data management. Through semi-structured interviews, we investigated researchers’ experiences of practicing FAIR research data management within the context of a multi-stakeholder project within the field of health research funded by the European Commission. Our analysis showed that the informants’ experiences of practicing FAIR research data management differed largely depending on which scientific tradition they belonged to; something that previous studies have attributed to shortcomings in the current infrastructure, lack of resources and persistent cultures around data sharing in the wider scientific community. Drawing on previous work presented within the field of Critical Data Studies (CDS), we argue that our findings point to a more fundamental problem; namely the failure to recognize that the FAIR framework is built on a positivist conceptualization of data. We argue that if FAIR is to have any chance of succeeding in its ambitions to be as inclusive and all-encompassing as it wants to be, these insights need to be taken more into account and provide some potential pathways."

This was not hard to predict. #Data governance needs to go beyond a data entry for "Reason?" as that is clearly too vague. If #California wants to continue deploying and operating #ALPR technology, we need #datagovernance and accountability NOW.

"As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into higher education, institutions find themselves balancing two competing imperatives: promoting data access that is open to all for collaboration to drive innovation and research, and protecting student privacy and institutional autonomy. While AI promises more personalization, predictive insights, and resource optimization for students and educators, its reliance on large-scale student data magnifies the risks of surveillance, discrimination, and educational technology (edtech) vendor overreach. The current higher education landscape demonstrates the diverse ways in which colleges and universities approach their students’ data in the age of AI, ranging from open-arms data sharing to risk-averse data hoarding. A third option—intentional, collaborative data governance—offers a way to harness AI’s potential while safeguarding the core values of higher education."

Apple gives developers access to on-device AI
OpenAI is forced to retain private chat logs by court order

It's a timely reminder:
Where AI runs — and where data goes — still matters more than model size or speed.
