Emily Douglas, Human Resources Director New Zealand; The problem with ethics in data
"The problem of ‘ethics in data’ has become entrenched in HR. A recent
paper published in Philosophical Transactions A by Luciano Floridi and
Mariarosaria Taddeo, questioned the nature of ‘data ethics’ and what it
means in a corporate setting.
“While the data ethics landscape is complex, we are confident that
these ethical challenges can be addressed successfully,” commented
Floridi.
“Striking a robust balance between enabling innovation in data
science technology, and respecting privacy and human rights will not be
an easy or simple task. But the alternative, failing to advance both the
ethics and the science of data, would have regrettable consequences.”
It serves as both a scary reminder of what exactly is at stake here,
and a rousing challenge for HR practitioners. HR should take on the role
of a gatekeeper to employee data – rather than procurer."
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
