There are a lot of Dangers to Human Society if Data Science is used without Ethical Considerations. 

Ethical challenges arise when opinions on what is considered right and wrong diverge. 

The Mission of the DataEthics4All Initiative is to raise awareness on the Ethical use of Data, build the next generation of Inclusive AI and be a Catalyst in building a more Equitable, Inclusive, Culture Rich, Just and Ethical Society.
