Dr. Amit Dhurandhar will deliver the first talk in the series entitled
“Towards AI Governance with Trustworthy AI” on Thursday, April 8, 2021
through WebEx.
The New England Statistical Society Colloquium Special Series on Ethics in Data
Science will be a short series of lectures on broad topics in ethics in data
science and ethics in data science education. Potential topics include but are
not limited to,
· Philosophical Foundations of Ethics as they Relate to Data Science
· Establishing an Ethical Framework for Data Science
· Data Ethics Policies, Regulation and Law
· Data Collection Methods
· Data Privacy
· Data Ethics and Social, Economic, Environmental and Political
Justice (Human Rights)
· Machine Bias & Algorithmic Fairness
· Ethics in Data Science Curricula
· Teaching Ethics in Data Science
It is our hope that these events serve as a catalyst to begin a broader
discussion on data ethics among our membership, our peers, and society at
large. Through this initiative and those that follow, NESS hopes to help
establish ethics as a first-class area of investigation within the field of
data science, to contribute to the construction and adoption of ethical
frameworks for data scientists, and to promote the study of ethics in data
science curricula.
Dr. Amit Dhurandhar from IBM Watson will deliver the first talk in this series
entitled “Towards AI Governance with Trustworthy AI”.
