Everyone knows data ethics are important but ethics can mean different things. How do you decide on the ethical standards you want to uphold? You have a job to do and data that looks like it does it, so what next? Assessing the provenance, quality, scope and coverage of the data is just a starting point. Is there any underlying bias in the data – or in you!? And how do you deal with gaps or quality issues to ensure your solution meets the ethical standards you want to uphold?
