94-836 Ethics & Policy of Data Analytics

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

We live in an increasingly dataintensive and algorithmic society, and so we must consider the ethical, societal, and personal impacts of these technologies. This course will explore ethical and policy aspects of data analytics, including issues of privacy, bias, trust, and more. We will consider both ethical questions about what we ought to do with data analytics, and also policy questions about what we are permitted or required to do by law and regulation in both US and nonUS contexts. This course will thus provide an important complement to more statisticstechnologycentric courses that emphasize what we can do.
