Akiva Thalheim, Washington Square News, NYU's Independent Student Newspaper; University Launches Ethics-Forward Data Science Major
"The new major seeks to specifically address and prevent these issues
through a required course in the ethics of data science, [Center for Data Science Director Julia] Kempe
explained. She added that the course was developed with the assistance
of a National Science Foundation grant.
“We are hoping to educate young people to
be data savvy and also data critical, because nowadays, everything is
about data but often it’s done in a very uncritical way,” Kempe said.
“We have to understand where the biases are [and] how to use data
ethically — it’s something that we want to impart on every student, if
we can.""
