I'm the author of this piece. would really appreciate your thoughts and comments. I’d love to learn about other datasets that could really change the trajectory of society if made accessible. Also would love to read a counter-argument to this.
I'm one of the authors of this (along with Will Landing, CEO of FICO). would really appreciate your comments. I've been getting a lot of comments about good examples of standards that we forgot to include -- please list them here and I will update the piece.
agreed Andrew. We we need to democratize access to data. Of course, that does not mean that the underlying data needs to free. It can be expensive. But the data needs to be available.
If you are a self-driving car start-up today with $120MM in funding, you still have no data on how humans drive or how pedestrians walk. That's something that is going to be really important. And Apple and Google (both working also on self-driving cars) have a massive amount of data on drivers.
