Data science ethics and AI ethics are now becoming critical to any curriculum at any higher education institution. Many universities, I think over 54, including all the Ivy League as well, are in that. Public interest technology is so critical now to the tech space,. And if we are to do that, we have got to get that community buy-in.
Ethics in AI is a broad, deep, and tough subject. It's also, arguably, one of the most important subjects for analysts, data scientists, and organizations overall to deliberately and determinedly tackle as a standard part of how they do work. On this episode, Renée Cummings, Professor of Practice in Data Science and Data Activist in Residence at the University of Virginia (among many other roles), joined us for a discussion of the subject. Her knowledge of the topic is as deep as her passion for it, and both are bordering on the limitless, so it was an incredibly informative chat!
