Enhancing Data Science Ethics Through Statistical Education and Practice
本文讨论统计学家如何通过教育和实践提升数据科学伦理,涵盖数据生命周期各阶段的伦理问题,旨在帮助从业者和学生培养伦理意识与最佳实践。
Summary As sources of data become more plentiful and massive datasets are easier to acquire, new ethical issues arise involving data quality and privacy, and the analysis, interpretation and dissemination of data‐driven decisions. There are numerous anecdotes involving abuses of complex data analyses and algorithms, and the impact they have had on society. In this paper, we discuss what statisticians can do to help enhance data science ethics in practice and what statistics educators can do to instil sound ethical behaviour in our students. We have opportunities to practice and teach ethical conduct relevant to all stages of the data life cycle. This paper discusses issues impacting ethical data science, with a focus on how statisticians can help raise awareness and encourage implementation of ethical best practices.
