This article is too brief to be really satisfactory, but it marks what to me is a signal event, the first actual use I've seen 'in the wild' of Tim Berners-Lee's Social Linked Data (SoLiD) project. SoLiD is described here as "an open-source Personal Data Store (PDS) developed by the company Inrupt." here's how it worked in practice: "In their first demo, a user created a new data pod on the BBC system and then linked their BBC and Spotify user accounts to pull in some of their media play histories... At no time does the BBC get to see the user's Spotify data, and Spotify does not receive a copy of the users BBC data." That's not only how we want to do ethical data management, I would say, it's also how we want to do ethical AI.
