To make this analysis slightly more personal for Munich Security Conference readers, several photos from the US Consulate in Munich were found. Coincidentally, one of the images is from the Deutsch-amerikanischer Datenschutztag.

This brief research aims to shed light on the emerging politics of data. A photo is no longer just a photo when it can also be surveillance training data, and datasets can no longer be separated from the development of software when software is now built with data. "Our relationship to computers has changed", says Geoffrey Hinton, one of the founders of modern day neural networks and deep learning. "Instead of programming them, we now show them and they figure it out." 1.

As data becomes more political, national AI strategies might also want to include transnational dataset strategies.

This research post is ongoing and will updated during July and August, 2019.
