The intersection of ethics with the world of analytics and data science is a topic that has risen in prominence and importance in recent years. People are very receptive to giving ethics more attention once their eyes have been opened to the fact that the need for ethical consideration is much broader and more important than they realized. The vast majority of the examples where something unethical occurred with analytics and data science were not driven by anyone operating with bad intent. Rather, it is usually a case where the ethics of the situation simply weren’t thought through well enough, if at all.
This book is an opportunity to see what dozens of other people have to say about ethics. As more conversations about ethics occur between members of the analytics and data science community, the community can continue to make progress toward ensuring that analytics and data science are done in as ethical a manner as possible. The key is to get people’s attention so that they are awakened to the need to give proper focus to ethical considerations. The goal of this book is to be a catalyst for this awakening – to help readers fully understand the importance of applying proper ethics to analytics and data science initiatives. Readers will find a wide range of opinions and writing styles within the submissions included. That was intentional. To the extent that two entries have conflicting views, it provides an opportunity for readers to ponder which view they find more compelling and why. This book is not intended to tell readers precisely what is and isn’t ethical. Rather, the book provides 97 perspectives from others in the community so that readers can continue to refine their own ethical guidelines. If there is one takeaway from this book it should be that you can’t wait for someone else to take the lead when it comes to ensuring that your analytics and data science activities are ethical. You must step up and help take the lead yourself! Be intentional about considering ethics every day and you will sleep well at night while protecting the integrity and reputation of both yourself and your organization.
