Governing The Future Of AI
The Ancient Greek playwrights knew how to tell a good story, but occasionally found themselves searching for a way to solve whatever conflict they had concocted.

The Untapped Potential Of Open Financial Data
The potential value that could be created by open data for finance is huge. Not only will economies that adopt open data ecosystems see GDP growth of up to 5 percent by 2030, but all participants of such an ecosystem would reap the benefits. In Europe, 17% of this new value will be captured by individual participants through improved products and increased access to financial services.
