The White House has released a big report on big data. The 79-page report outlines policy recommendations for the use of personal data in the commercial, education and health-care sectors, said Jo-Ellyn Sakowitz Klein and Francine Friedman of Akin Gump. The report was requested by the president himself, who asked for a study to “examine how big data will transform the way we live and work and alter the relationships between government, citizens, businesses and consumers.”

Klein and Friedman say the report starts by discussing how both public and private entities can make use of big data and minimize its risks. It then goes on to discuss key questions for the development of a policy framework, such as how it alters the consumer landscape and how to protect people from discrimination enabled by this new technology.
