Ethics by design: Moving from ethical principles to practical solutions
Data ethics is at the top of the global tech agenda - in recent years a lot of time and energy has been poured into developing guidelines, codes and principles for the responsible use of data, AI, robotics etc. Now it is time to move on to the next phase: translating data ethics principles into data ethics solutions.
Session description
Several recent scandals (most prominently Facebook-Cambridge Analytica) have increased the average citizens awareness of the risks of data abuse in the new data economy. A number of intergovernmental institutions are working on developing guidelines and principles for the responsible use of data and data ethics – most prominently the EU and OECD. Also some countries have attempted to spearhead the development on how to operationalize data ethics and make it into a competitive advantage for businesses - but there remains a range of unresolved questions and dilemmas that this session will seek to answer: How do we promote data-driven business models without eroding citizens’ trust in businesses and society? How do we empower tech-workers to handle ethical questions when they arise? And most importantly: How do we transform data ethics into practical solutions and turn the responsible use of data into a competitive advantage? If we are to reap all the benefits of the digital transformation, we need to find new solutions to ensure that the consumers’ trust in the data economy stays strong. A strong focus on data ethics and the responsible use of AI could be one mean towards this end.
Format
We have 90 min. for the session – therefore it is suggested to divide the session into smaller but interconnected parts:
Speaker to set the scene
Short presentation by people/orgs. who have worked with developing data ethics principles
Short presentation by people/orgs./businesses who have worked with concrete data ethical solutions
Panel discussion
Q&A with questions from audience
Conclusions – lessons learned/practical solutions to bring back home
Please try out new interactive formats. EuroDIG is about dialogue not about statements, presentations and speeches. Workshops should not be organised as a small plenary.
