Project Description
Course Overview
In a perfect world, legislation and oversight would progress hand in hand with innovation, but we all know that this is far from the truth. This one-day Data Ethics course explores the ethical considerations around the use, collection, and utilisation of data from a wider perspective. Covering aspects such as information sharing, discrimination and bias in artificial intelligence and algorithms; the rights of the individual and the group and the ethical considerations in the development, collection, and usage of data. Actions taken with good intentions can still be vastly unethical, so this course is designed to inform you of not just the risks but the questions to ask yourself to find a balance.

What our clients said about the course
The discussions around the pros and cons of AI and unintended consequences were really interesting.
Data Ethics is a vast subject and the course covered the key aspects of the subject well. It introduced some terminology to me that I hadn’t heard before.
