Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing; Customizable ethics checklists for Big Data researchers
"Deon is a project to create automated "ethics checklists" for data
science projects; by default, running the code creates a comprehensive
checklist covering data collection and storage, modeling and deployment:
the checklist items aren't specific actions, they're "meant to provoke
discussion among good-faith actors who take their ethical
responsibilities seriously. Because of this, most of the items are
framed as prompts to discuss or consider. Teams will want to document
these discussions and decisions for posterity."
The lists can be customized for your own purposes, and if you think the
default list needs revising, there's a democratic process for amending
it."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
