Ethics in Data Science: Use Cases
by Oya Beyan
Dear Colleagues, I would like to share a blog that discusses two implementations of data science from the ethics perspective. One of them is the COMPAS system used by judges across the United States to predict whether defendants awaiting trial are likely to re-offend. The other is the smart meter, an IoT application, that measures domestic electricity consumption to gain network transparency. It enables consumers to visualize and optimize their electricity consumption leading to better power management and flexible billing.0 | Add new comment
