*UKHotViewsExtra* National Data Library: Time to 'Sink or Sprint'?

The National Data Library (NDL). The idea was first raised by the UK Government in the Labour Party Manifesto last summer (see Labour and Conservative Manifestos: tech implications | TechMarketView). Labour stated it would "bring together existing research programmes and help deliver data-driven public services".  

It has evolved from a manifesto promise to a budget commitment, but despite being a consistent feature of announcements under the government over the last few months, detail and, indeed, any idea of timelines, has been lacking.

A new report from the Tony Blair Institute and The Entrepreneurs Network outlines a proposed transformative approach that could reshape how government data drives AI innovation. With competing visions inside government and ambitious implementation timelines, in our latest UKHotViewsExtra – National Data Library: Time to ‘Sink or Sprint’? - we consider whether the NDL can overcome the typical hurdles of large-scale government IT initiatives and elevate the UK's position in the global AI race.
