Open Data and Better Questions: Engaging New Yorkers to Develop Questions that Matter in the Age of AI
Fri, Mar 27 2026
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Central Library, Dweck Center
10 Grand Army Plaza
Brooklyn, NY 11238

The GovLab, Brooklyn Public Library, and Alliance for Public Interest Technology at New York University will be hosting a special “Questions Lab” as part of New York City Open Data Week 2026. In it, we will give New Yorkers the opportunity to formulate good, data-driven questions about the issues they care about and to meaningfully connect those questions to specific datasets in NYC Open Data or other, non-traditional repositories. It will include a brief presentation followed by small group discussions on the questions that New Yorkers care about.

The end result of this work will be a prioritized mapping of the questions that matter for New Yorkers. This event is open to anyone interested in data and how it can be used to set a policy agenda.

Participants will leave the event with a practical methodology for developing well-crafted, data-driven questions and the work they produce will inform new open data research.
