The ICAI OpenGov Lab develops tailored AI technology
Government transparency is central in a democratic society, and increasingly, governments at all levels must publish data proactively and passively (e.g., through FOIA requests). The lab's mission is to improve and support interpretation, retrieval, and use of open government data, to increase government transparency, public trust, and ultimately democratic participation. By collaborating with the government, researchers, journalists, and citizens, we address the entire information lifecycle: from data creation and disclosure (supply) to its responsible use and societal impact (demand). Our research helps improve information culture and practices within government, and empowers citizens to engage more effectively in public discourse and decision-making.
About the Lab
The ICAI OpenGov Lab starts with three dual PhD candidates employed by the Rijksorganisatie voor Informatiehuishouding (RvIHH) and expects to expand to five within the first year. Day-to-day management is in the hands of lab manager Dr. David Graus. The scientific directors are Dr. ir. Jaap Kamps (ILLC, UvA) and Dr. Maarten Marx (IRLab, UvA).
