Data Science is not new, but the last year has seen a greater focus on the ethical aspects of the collection and analysis of data. Much of this focus has been on the ‘black box’ problem (the use of algorithms) and keywords ‘transparency’ and ‘accountability’ in response to the problem.
This presentation takes a different approach by looking at the ethical issues, and decisions, faced by a data scientist in the process of data collection and processing, and consequent outcomes.
In taking this approach and highlighting the range of issues, decisions and trade-offs to be made by the data scientist, the tight link between ethics and professionalism becomes clear.
