Welcome to this special issue of articles discussing the important topics of data cleansing, data protection, data privacy, and the use of artificial intelligence in today's world.

Data cleansing is identifying and correcting or removing inaccurate, incomplete, or irrelevant data from a database or other information storage system. This is important to ensure that data is accurate and useful for decision-making.

Data protection and data privacy are closely related topics that focus on ensuring that personal and sensitive information is secure and protected from unauthorized access or use. This includes encryption and secure storage measures to prevent data breaches and protect individuals' privacy.

Finally, the value of user data to other companies is a hotly debated topic. While user data can be used to improve products and services and provide targeted advertising, it is important to consider the ethical implications of collecting and using this data, as well as ensuring that individuals' privacy is protected.

This special issue will delve deeper into each of these topics and explore the latest developments, challenges, and best practices in the field of data management and AI.
