The Future of Data Sharing –Leveraging Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence to Enable Multi-party Data Sharing

Instructors: Cameron Skaff, CGI Federal, Hriday Keni, CGI Federal

The country and world are moving from an ownership economy to a sharing economy. It is interesting, however, that we are willing to share our homes, but not our data.

Data sharing challenges remain, but can be overcome with an open attitude and recent technological advancements. During Transportation Academy, held in conjunction with the 2022 NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting, Cameron Skaff and Hriday Keni from CGI Federal shared insights on how we can leverage emerging technologies, including Blockchain and AI, to build a platform that enables efficient data sharing and discovery of data across and between agencies, networks, and systems.

Robust traceability, auditability, and discovery can be achieved with validation access and without the need for a centralized single party-controlled data repository (integrated data repository or data lake) nor the need for data transfer, which commonly sacrifices data integrity, authority, and non-repudiation.
