DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar on Data Ethics hosted by Ramón Alvarado of t
 he University of Oregon in collaboration with the KU KS Data Science Conso
 rtium!\n\nNo\, Really. What Is Data Ethics?\n\nRoughly a decade ago Florid
 i and Taddeo (2016) defined data ethics as a field that draws insights fro
 m the ethics of data (e.g.\, gathering\, curation\, storage)\, the ethics 
 of algorithms (the use\, deployment\, and design of computational technolo
 gies) and the ethics of practice (oaths\, mission statements\, best- pract
 ices\, etc.). A more sophisticated overview of such field could also easil
 y identified that\, despite its repeated omission from the literature\, bu
 siness ethics is additionally one of the most insightful sources of carefu
 l consideration and precedent for the field (De George\, 2009). Underlying
  any and all of these sources is of course an exploration of profound mora
 l dilemmas and frameworks which— for better or for worse— strongly hin
 ge on utilitarian values. For the past decade\, however\, the strict focus
  of data ethics on harm mitigation related to transparency\, bias\, fairne
 ss\, compliance\, and regulation have exhausted its program without much l
 eft to show for it other than tired narratives that have lead to either et
 hics washing or ethics bashing (Bietti\, 2020). In this talk we will explo
 re what it means for a data ethics program to go beyond this paradigm of m
 itigation and start asking questions from a philosophical perspective in w
 hich data\, databases\, and data technologies inevitably drive the most ce
 ntral aspects of our contemporary civilization.
