Uncovering and handling bias in data: ethical and practical considerations
Olivia Gambelin, Ethical Intelligence
Joseph Crispell, DFID
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?
