Data dictates nearly every aspect of our lives, and the ethical issues and opportunities around the collection, curation and management of data are a reoccurring topic of discussion with many guests on The New P&L - Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series.

In May, The New P&L hosted an exclusive virtual Roundtable discussion – sponsored by UK-based ethical data champions, My Life Digital and titled ‘More than the Sum of our Cells’.  We bought together some great minds from the tech industry to discuss how we can ensure that as the source point for the collection of all this data - we as individuals and consumers - do not simply become the sum of our data points in a world run by algorithms as well as what can or should tech companies, regulators and individuals do to protect privacy and ensure the ‘human’ is not lost in the ‘drive for data’.
