Title: Data ethics: What is it, and who needs it?
Abstract:
With ever wider aspects of the human and non-human world being datafied, and research in medicine and many other areas becoming increasingly datafied, the field of data ethics is becoming more important. But what is it? What is the difference between data ethics and other fields of ethics, such as medical ethics? And does it create more problem than it solves? These and other questions will be at the centre of our seminar.
