Summary: The following paper lists out 5 challenges with “data-driven policing” which has become more common all across the U.S. over the last several years. The challenges are elaborated on in the paper but they are as follows: dealing with racial bias and not violating people’s freedoms; determining the purpose of different sets of data; determining a threshold for which something is deemed to be a success; increasing transparency among the community; and increasing accountability and community oversight. These ethical concerns do not just apply to policing but to other service industries such as health care, security, financial services, and many others.
