On behalf of the CDEI, Deltapoll interviewed 2,014 UK adults online between 10th – 14th August 2020, to develop its understanding of public attitudes towards data sharing between government departments. The polling followed publication of the CDEI’s first report on public sector data sharing. Deltapoll also interviewed 2,002 UK adults online between 31st – 4th September 2020, on behalf of the CDEI, asking questions relating to data sharing, the impact of data use and sharing on the economy and society, and the role of the UK in setting global rules and standards for AI. Both datasets have been weighted to be representative of the UK adult population as a whole.

Engaging with the public is a core component of the CDEI’s work. Its dedicated Public Attitudes Insights Team ensures that its work is informed by a deep understanding of the way in which the UK public want data and data-driven technologies to be used now and in the future.
