Defining the Issues
As data is being used and gathered in more and more areas, the need for data ethics is growing as well. While data can make things better and improve services it can also be used against people and communities, which has real impact on our lives. It is a tool that can improve our lives but can also harm. We need to understand how to use it ethically and beneficially.
