Data Ethics for Artificial Intelligence
Deeper analytics are now a normal part of shaping everyday life. Customers are expecting a personalized experience from shopping online to health care. New algorithms are being built on a daily basis. With all the explosion of insights, this session is focused on taking a step back to look at the question – Just because we can, should we? In the context of data and analytics.
We will dedicate this session to having three different points of views on data ethics and technology. Followed by a panel discussion.
