Data Science Ethics

Data Science Ethics

The Data Science Ethics certification course focuses on the learning of working with privacy ethics, data sharing and algorithmic decision-making. As patients, we worry for the safety of our medical records; but as patients, we still expect to benefit from the review of the evidence in the medical records. As people, we want a fair hearing before we are convicted for a crime; but as citizens, we want to deter the terrorists before they attack us. As a moral choice, we appreciate the recommendations we get from data-driven algorithms in the Data Science Ethics by edX; but as decision-makers, we are still worried about unintended bias. Often data scientists master the instruments of commerce and get to work straight away, without appreciating the real implications of their work. 

This Data Science Ethics online course focuses on ethics directly relevant to data science and provides you with a context for examining these questions. This concept focuses on ethics, which are common principles that tend to discern right from wrong. Ethics were not the rule, but they were generally the foundation of the law. The learners can pursue the programme in two varied tracks; verified and audit track. In the verified track, the learners will get unlimited access and a certificate. In the audit track, they will get access to the course for a limited duration.
