Data Science Assignment by 2nd Group

The document discusses the privacy and ethics concerns regarding data science. It notes that data science promises to help understand the world through data but can also enable social profiling and create a "panopticon" if not carefully implemented. Specifically, it raises concerns about commercial interests prioritizing individual privacy, profiling and potentially discriminating against minorities, and creating an illusion that data can solve all problems without consideration for complex social factors. The document also briefly introduces the concept of differential privacy as a computational approach to preserving privacy in data science.

Introduction PRIVACY and ETHICS of Data Science

 The biggest unknown facing data science today is how societies will
choose to answer a new version of the old question regarding how
best to balance the freedoms and privacy of individuals and
minorities against the security and interests of society.
 The promise of data science is that it provides a way to understand
the world through data.
 In the current
6.1. Commercial Interests versus
Individual Privacy
 Data science can be framed as making the world a more prosperous
and secure place to live.
6.2 Ethical Implications of Data
Science
6.2.1 Profiling and Discrimination
 The story about Target identifying a pregnant
high school student without her consent or
knowledge highlights how data science can be
used for social profiling not only of individuals
but also of minority groups in society.
 These profiles are constructed by integrating
data from a number of different noisy and
partial data sources, so the profiles can often be
misleading about an individual.
6.2.2 Creating a Panopticon
 If you spend time absorbing some of the commercial boosterism
that surrounds data science, you get a sense that any problem can
be solved using data science technology given enough of the right
data.
 When this argument is accepted, two processes are often
intensified.
 This marketing of the power of data science feeds into a view that a
data-driven approach to governance is the best way to address
complex social problems, such as crime, poverty, poor education,
and poor public health:
 all we need to do to solve these
6.3 Computational Approaches to
Preserving Privacy
 Differential privacy uses

(2002/58/EC).

are pregnant by registering for promotional new-mother programs at
the stores.
