Tech Entrepreneur and StateUp Advisor Sam Gilbert’s Good Data Turns Five: Lessons for the Gen AI Age

Tech entrepreneur and StateUp advisor Sam Gilbert’s Good Data turns five, one of its key arguments is newly relevant in the context of generative AI.

As AI shifts from data ownership to large-scale knowledge ingestion, the question is no longer just about who controls data.

A new concrete challenge is emerging instead:

How should governments and technology companies translate this pooled input into national capability and prosperity—across compute, energy, and strategic sectors?

Current policy tools—IP, taxation, data regulation—were not designed for this shift, and only hold part of the answer.

One place this is becoming visible is in local opposition to data centres: What would it take for AI infrastructure to become a net contributor to the communities it depends on?

The key decisions now sit at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure.

This is where we increasingly work with governments and industry.
