Follow the Data! Responsible Data Science Starts with Responsible Data Management

Abstract: Data science technology promises to improve people's lives, accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, and bring about positive societal change. Yet, if not used responsibly, this same technology can reinforce inequity, limit accountability, and infringe on the privacy of individuals. In my talk I will discuss recent technical work in scope of the "Data, Responsibly" project.  The goal of this project is to establish a foundational new role for database technology, in which managing data in accordance with ethical and moral norms, and legal and policy considerations becomes a core system requirement. I will connect our technical insights on fairness, diversity, transparency, and data protection to ongoing regulatory efforts in the US and elsewhere.
