The MIT Future of Data Initiative is leading a multi-disciplinary research agenda to design and stimulate the deployment of consumer-empowering and accountable systems to provide trusted, traceable uses of personal data on an ecosystem-wide scale. The Initiative has gathered together computer science and Internet policy researchers as well as leading commercial enterprises in financial services, payment technology, cloud platforms, insurance and other sectors to discuss current challenges and opportunities in privacy and data governance. Today’s modern privacy laws place appropriately high expectations on organizations processing personal data. At the same time, consumers report declining trust in those who handle their personal data and regulators around the world struggle with the scale of the enforcement challenge. We aim to identify and put into service technical infrastructure for enterprises seeking to handle personal data in a trustworthy and lawful manner with guardrails to enable the traceable, accountable, and scalable use of data.

Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture.
