Artificial Intelligence is considered the key technology of the future – no car, no hospital, no plant will work any longer without it. The US and China have long since realized that. They pour billions in research and development. Their companies set now the standards for the technology. Experts warn: Germany’s prosperity and future is at risk.

Artificial Intelligence – New Research Alliances

Digital transformation of economic systems in full swing

Many observers see this also as a transition to a data driven economy. However, data alone do not provide added value, they require processing in intelligent data analysis systems using new business models. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important role, since research funding alone does not create added value effects. Well-functioning AI ecosystems are essential to translate excellent research into societal benefits.

Video: Josef Drexl on “How Can the Data Economy Be Regulated to Promote New Emerging Markets?”

A video with Josef Drexl on “How Can the Data Economy Be Regulated to Promote New Emerging Markets?” has been published on Latest Thinking.

In the new digital economy regulation of data is not only heatedly debated in the political arena, it has also become the subject of academic research. New business models are emerging based on the current digital transformation of manufacturing and the digital transformation of many products. These smart products, such as autonomous cars, collect a huge number of data. The question arises: Who owns the data and how should access to these data be regulated? Josef Drexl is interested in the future regulation of the data economy and explores the question of how we can generate or enable markets to emerge that build on the use of data. As he explains in this video, a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition led by him and his colleague Reto Hilty has concluded that – based on an analysis of the workings of the market – there is no need to recognize ownership in data and that sector-specific adopted of targeted rights of access to data should be preferred to a property approach.
