Hello
folks, creatives and business people. First things first, there’s
plenty of food, exploration and interest in Data Science Ethics…! But
what is it exactly? I will begin with simple examples. Photo materials.
Photographers taking pictures. Who owns the rights of such a photo? If
the photographer presses the button on the machine, he took the picture
which means he owns it. Now what happens if he uses that photo, or that
file, in a way that could harm someone… If not, maybe he just wants to
intrude someone's private life. For example, many of you may have heard
of the terrible battles between paparazzi and celebrities in America.
The photographer captured a celebrity at the beach, in her private
tender moments where he actually takes a photo of her body showing her
boobs. If that’s a top-level celebrity he could sell the photo for
thousands of dollars. That’s mere private life of course, but when it
comes to photos or videos, diverse occasions have caused numerous
problems. If we shift the above process to data, truth is not that
straightforward. What happens if someone does not use a photo, but data
information in the internet in a way that could harm someone… The
importance of it gave birth to Data Science Ethics, whereas the
responsibility of data owners and data managers, rise the importance of
ethics and instrumentation of data, meaning, to use data in multiple
ways, dark or bright, as an instrument.
So, let’s now shift to businesses and start-ups and explore what happens with "equivalent examples" of photos and data not only in social networking and the community, but into the exact nature of the entrepreneurial world. A picture worth a thousand words. There’s power in it. In terms of organizing the global information which constitutes of several uses of world data, including pictures, scripts, music, video, there’s influence, there’s communication, there’s hierarchy creation, there’s management, there are conflicts, there’s war and corruption, but at the end of the day, to mimic the original example of the photographer, there are comparisons that could possibly use the material (the photo) in a possibly harmful way. The exact nature of such a comparison, means you have a first reason to disagree if something goes against your likes. As a consequence, interest conflicts as well as the principal agent problem in businesses (a phenomenon where the higher in hierarchy do not align their goals with the lower ones which leads to different policies) rise an arena of continuous debates. Here’s where a holistic perception of the instrumentation of data rises. The internet is a tool, exactly like a knife. You can use the knife to eat or to stab someone, which leads to the consequence of ethical use of data. But what’s the burning (and hidden) desire underneath that surface? “Healthy variations” are the bitter truth…
It may be a course of 15 years… That explains that if our mindsets are organized and multicriterial from the beginning, the beginnings of past or future beginnings, it could save us from a lot of pain and agony…! Have a great time folks!
