How can we build trust in this complex and ambiguous data world? How can digital technologies serve humanity?

Data is the magic word of the 21st century. For citizens, data means support in daily life in almost all activities, from using watches to laptops, from kitchen to car, from mobile phone to politics. For business and politics, data means power, dominance, winning the race. Data can be used for good and bad, for services and hacking, for medicine and arms race.
