Data Science Ethics - What Could Go Wrong and How to Avoid It

Data science models are all around you.
They could impact your admission to a school, whether you get hired (or fired), your work schedule, whom you date, whether you get a loan, what ads are shown to you, what social media posts you see, and so on.
In this video, Kylie Ying talks to us about ethics in Data Science. She talks us through what exactly makes something 'ethical', and applies that to some great cases from Facebook, OKCupid and others. We will also cover ethics around data collection, data manipulation and ownership of the data around you, as well as ethics surrounding algorithms. Some topics discussed include informed consent, privacy, and FAT* (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency).

I've really been wanting a talk on data-science ethics, I feel like it doesn't get highlighted enough as it's such an important topic and as technology increasingly affects our lives and society, it should be something on all of minds.

It is the biggest cover up attempt to transfer and diffuse accountability: datascience is a magic 8ball.
