You recently co-authored a research paper titled ‘The case for expanding digital public infrastructure’. What is DPI?
DPI refers to the principle and practice of building digital services that serve the public interest. They must be open, interoperable with other systems and enable the secure sharing of data. In government, for example, there could be data sitting in one department that another department needs to deliver public services. In some countries, those two systems don’t talk to each other, which means entirely new data sets and arrangements must be created to share the information, creating unnecessary bureaucracy and expense.
