Unintended Consequences: When Good Intentions Go Awry With Marie Wallace, Data Strategist at IBM Watson Health.
The Discussion.
Few technologists intentionally plan to act unethically.
Most of us truly believe that we can make the world better by inventing exciting transformative new solutions.
Focus, energy, and tenacity turn our ideas into reality, however, this can also sometimes create tunnel vision and lead us to inadvertently fall into an ethical trap without realizing it.
During this session we will discuss:
- Marie’s journey from data scientist to privacy advocate, which drove her to publish her Hippocratic oath for the data scientist 7 years ago.
- How to avoid falling into the ethical trap.
- Why privacy-by-design makes for better solutions in the long-run, even if it involves more design thinking up-front.
The Guest.
