In a world where computers, technology, programs and AI have increased impact on human lives, where do ethics belong?
In this talk, we'll look at a new paradigm called "Ethics-Driven Development" that utilizes ethical questions and goals to develop products that respect and inspire users.
We'll address issues of ethics in a data science team, asking: How can we integrate ethical goals into our design and feature specifications? What would it look like to incorporate ethic-focused metrics in our model selection process?
Using ethics-driven development, we will investigate processes, techniques and open-source tools to help you successfully integrate ethics into your development workflow.
