Shanghai encourages the use of AI, blockchain, and privacy computing to develop scientific data.

The Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Data Bureau issued the “Measures for the Administration of Scientific Data in Shanghai (Trial),” proposing to focus on unlocking the value of diverse applications. The measures encourage the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and privacy computing to establish mechanisms for the discoverable, authorizable, traceable, and assessable development, utilization, open access, and sharing of scientific data, and to promote the sharing and use of scientific data throughout Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region.

· The measures identify technology areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and privacy computing, but do not specify implementation projects or timelines for any individual technology.
· The stated sharing scope covers Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region, but the measures do not elaborate on how cross-regional coordination will work.

Now that scientific data is being opened up, which aspect concerns you more: authorization or traceability?
