Accelerating the Construction of a Collaborative and Efficient New Government Data Governance System in China

Abstract

With the explosive growth of data volume, China’s government data governance is facing increasingly complex challenges, leading to a sharp rise in the difficulty and cost of digital governance. The sources and volume of government data are experiencing an explosive increase, while the processing and analysis of vast amounts of unstructured data have grown increasingly complex. Traditional data governance frameworks struggle to effectively address these challenges. Moreover, various platforms and generative AI collect massive amounts of sensitive data and user behaviour information, posing severe threats to personal privacy and even national security. To ensure data quality, security, and privacy protection while maintaining compliance, it is imperative to establish a collaborative governance mechanism that engages the government, enterprises, industry organisations, and the public in data governance. By leveraging emerging technologies, we must streamline the framework of the new government data governance system to enhance the precision, effectiveness, and accountability of governance. Keywords: Collaborative and Efficient; Collaborative Governance Mechanism; Government Data Governance System.
