Once a by-product of industrial, commercial, consumer and other activities, data has become the lifeblood of the way the world works in the 21st century. Nowhere is this clearer than in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-as without data, there is no AI. Data stewardship, which we define as the 'collection, maintenance and sharing of data', is a crucial part of enabling data to be used effectively. The concept of data stewardship is a response to 'data hoarding' and 'data fearing' scenarios, where data is not shared and thus the benefits of sharing data are not realised. At the ODI, we've explored the topic of data stewardship through our data institutions programme. Data institutions are 'organisations that are stewarding data on behalf of others towards public, educational or charitable aims'. We've mapped out the landscape of data institutions, considered how they can be financially sustainable, and measured their impact. Over the last year, the ODI has been researching how organisations can steward data responsibly. We have worked with lots of data institutions that have demonstrated how to steward data effectively, however we have not had a systematic and reliable mechanism to collect evidence that identifies what constitutes responsible data stewardship. We researched what responsibility with data means to different actors through the data ecosystem, and developed a definition of responsible data stewardship to use in our work to help others design and practise responsible data collection, use and sharing. This research involved a thorough literature review of academic, grey literature and practical resources on responsible data, alongside two workshops with a stakeholder group of experts from the field of data governance and 18 interviews with experts and practitioners working with data from across a variety of sectors and geographies.
