Summary: The following article discusses how a professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Cornell recently began offering a Data Ethics online certificate program which offers 4 2-week courses, in order to focus on larger ethical issues related to algorithms as well as individual choices. This is a educational certificate that could help data science professionals stand out among their colleagues with this brief education on data ethics. This professor was discouraged by what she called a “wait and see” approach when dealing with algorithms, which led her to start offering this certificate which is more critical than ever before.
