Effective policymaking depends not only on data, but also on asking the right questions. While data science has advanced significantly, "question science" remains underdeveloped, leading to inefficient decision making and overlooked societal needs. The “100 Questions Initiative” therefore seeks to identify the most pressing issues by prioritising question formulation, for example in women’s health research, where biases in data collection and framing often exclude key perspectives. Extending this approach to other fields could counteract AI-driven biases and ensure more equitable outcomes.
Joining host Tom Parker is Stefaan Verhulst, co-founder of GovLab and Data Tank, who explores how question science can refine policymaking, address systemic biases, and foster a smarter approach to AI-driven research and innovation.
