“…For whom? From a governance perspective, Andreas Voßkuhle (2008, p. 18) notes that “If the citizen loses trust in the state’s knowledge and thus in the rationality of its decisions, the readiness to follow sovereignty commands evaporates.” According to Voßkuhle, the possibility for citizens to monitor the state’s rational analytical and decisional processes – i.e. to keep the state accountable for its actions – is what makes the complying of citizens to the state’s sovereignty possible.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the epistemological tensions embedded within big data and data-driven technologies to advance a socio-political reconsideration of the public dimension in the assessment of their implementation. Design/methodology/approach This paper builds upon (and revisits) the European Union’s (EU) normative understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven technologies, blending reflections rooted in philosophy of technology with issues of democratic participation in tech-related matters. Findings This paper proposes the conceptual design of sectorial and/or local-level e-participation platforms to ignite an ongoing discussion – involving experts, private actors, as well as cognizant citizens – over the implementation of data-driven technologies, to avoid siloed, tech-solutionist decisions. Originality/value This paper inscribes the EU’s normative approach to AI and data-driven technologies, as well as critical work on the governance of these technologies, into a broader political dimension, suggesting a way to democratically and epistocratically opening up the decisional processes over the development and implementation of these technologies and turn such processes into a systemic civic involvement.

Federated data as a commons: a third way to subject-centric and collective-centric approaches to data epistemology and politics

Purpose This study advances a reconceptualization of data and information which overcomes normative understandings often contained in data policies at national and international levels. This study aims to propose a conceptual framework that moves beyond subject- and collective-centric normative understandings. Design/methodology/approach To do so, this study discusses the European Union (EU) and China’s approaches to data-driven technologies highlighting their similarities and differences when it comes to the vision underpinning how tech innovation is shaped. Findings Regardless of the different attention to the subject (the EU) and the collective (China), the normative understandings of technology by both actors remain trapped into a positivist approach that overlooks all that is not and cannot be turned into data, thus hindering the elaboration of a more holistic ecological thinking merging humans and technologies. Originality/value Revising the philosophical and political debate on data and data-driven technologies, a third way is elaborated, i.e. federated data as commons. This third way puts the subject as part by default of a collective at the centre of discussion. This framing can serve as the basis for elaborating sociotechnical alternatives when it comes to define and regulate the mash-up of humans and technology.

“…Im Zentrum der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit steht die wissenschaftliche Politikberatung. Grundlage dieses Interesses ist der Anspruch des modernen Rechtsstaats, rational zu handeln (Voßkuhle 2008). Dieser Anspruch kann der Theorie politischer Steuerung zufolge nur eingelöst werden, wenn zunächst die kognitiven Voraussetzungen erfolgreicher Steuerung erfüllt sind -Probleme korrekt wahrgenommen und realisierbare Lösungsalternativen identifiziert werden.…”

Speaking Truth to Power: Leitlinien für die Regelung wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung

In mehreren Ländern wurden in letzter Zeit Leitlinien für die wissenschaftliche Politikberatung formuliert. Am Beispiel der britischen, europäischen und jüngst von der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften verabschiedeten deutschen Leitlinien wird untersucht, wie weit solche Leitlinien tatsächlich zum Treffen rationaler, evidenzbasierter und dadurch problemlösungsfähiger Policy-Entscheidungen beitragen können. Leitlinien, die sich auf die Organisation von Beratungsgremien und das Verhalten von Beratern beziehen, können prinzipiell auf die Produktion sachlich fundierter und praktisch verwertbarer Beratungsergebnisse hinwirken. Aber auch eine Erweiterung der nur ansatzweise vorhandenen Leitlinien für das Verhalten der Auftraggeber könnte weder die sachgerechte Verwendung „guter“ Beratungsergebnisse gewährleisten, noch die Instrumentalisierung wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung verhindern. Die Wirksamkeit wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung findet ihre Grenze in der prinzipiell nicht lösbaren Spannung zwischen dem Sachbezug und dem Machtbezug politischen Handelns.
