Curriculum: Starter TrackDigital ethics
Motivation:
Digital ethics is of special interests for data scientists, engineers,
and managers because their results and products have a direct impact on
individuals and society. Ethics is concerned with respecting the dignity and
vulnerability of human beings and with contributing to a good life. Ethics for
Data Science - like Medical Ethics or Engineering Ethics - is aspirational
(providing values for goals to achieve) and preventive (providing tools for
understanding and avoiding problematic outcomes). Given the numerous areas of
application the range of topics can be as varied and complex as fascinating.
Learning contents:
- Thematic areas of digital ethics
- Introduction to theories and tools for digital ethics
- Types of ethical concerns with algorithms
- Values for
digital ethics
Learning
objectives:
Participants will acquire an understanding for the manifold areas of
ethical concern affected by digital technologies, and for the various principles
and values that are at play when dealing with these concerns. A basic map of
