Summary: The following article illustrates data’s profound impact on the world around us today. The author then states the power of automated data decision-making, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and then relates the idea of ethics to AI by stating that if there exists some kind of bias in the data, then the model will further propagate that bias in its evaluation and future decision-making. Then the author reiterates the value of data ethics and explains that successful AI systems depend on the skill level of the humans involved in its creation. It is imperative that those humans are aware of any biases that may exist in the data before feeding it through a model. The article concludes by describing how data ethics is dependent on upskilling for all by ensuring a diverse range of domain experts are consulted to directly meet any challenges.
