As part of the digital exchange 2016 (dgx2016) in Singapore, I presented the ways in which the French government experiments with data-driven public decisions.

Driving Government With Data
The use of open data and datascience in public decision-making in France

2. Software x Civic Tech x Multitude

3. The State as a Platform

4. Etalab: a global data strategy
Gouvernment

5. Data.gouv.fr: an open platform for open data

6. The 3 premises of France’s open data

the traffic fatalities
Citizens’ reuses informing the
decisions of local authorities
Preventing traffic fatalities with open data

200 millions of API calls – Open
Code & API
No Data / No Single Data base ? Co-produce it!

9. Chief Data Officer, a new role within the State

10. 3 Datascience proofs of concept
Preventing car theft Predicting job openings
Negociating energy

11. Through forums Through events
#1: Create a public data culture & community

12. #2: Experiment with open data, then datascience

13. Open the black box
« Our world, awash in data, will
require new techniques to ensure
algorithmic accountability,
leading the next-generation of
computational journalists to file
Freedom of Information requests
for code, not just data, enabling
them to reverse engineer how
decisions and policies are being
made by programs in the public
and private sectors.”
– Alex Howard, Tech Republic
Open code, not just data. The
exemple of #CodeImpot.
#3: Design a citizens’ feedback loop

14. Any questions?
Merci !
