- More about We, the Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age
We, the Data argues that our data-intensive world should not come at the cost of our humanity, and calls for an extension of human rights to recognize how data complicate what it means to safeguard and encourage human potential. It explores data rights, facial recognition technology, our posthumous rights, and our need for a right to data literacy, and gives us a foundation upon which we claim human rights in the age of data.

A rallying call for extending human rights beyond our physical selves—and why we need to reboot rights in our data-intensive world. Winner of the 2024 Balsillie Prize for Public Policy and shortlisted for the 2024 Lionel Gelber Prize, Wendy H. Wong's book We, the Data argues that we cannot allow our humanity to be compromised by the pervasiveness of data collection and tracking. Exploring the nature of datafication, Wong reminds us that we are all stakeholders in this digital world and that our experiences have changed the way we interact with technology, ethics, and policy. The book calls for an extension of human rights to recognize the complexity of data and its impact on human potential. As we go about our lives, we are co-creating data through our actions, and Wong argues that these data are a part of who we are. However, current policies do not yet reflect the extent to which human experiences have changed, and we must embrace that we are more than mere subjects or sources of data by-products. By exploring data rights, facial recognition technology, our posthumous rights, and our need for a right to data literacy, Wong has crafted a compelling case for engaging as stakeholders to hold data collectors accountable. Just as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights laid the global groundwork for human rights, We, the Data gives us a foundation upon which we can claim human rights in the age of data.
