#3 David Martens: Data Science Ethics

David Martens is a professor of data science in the department of engineering management at the University of Antwerp, and he is the author of Data Science Ethics: Concepts, Techniques, and Cautionary Tales.

Some of the topics we discuss are the relationship between data science and artificial intelligence, ethical concerns during the data collection process, the European law known as the General Data Protection Regulation, the problem of re-identification of individuals if data that’s made public isn’t properly anonymized, and the dangers of launching powerful AI models for use by the wider public without any oversight—among many other topics.
