The power of extracting value from data utilizing Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning exposes the learning differences between humans and machines. Humans can apply ethical principles throughout decision-making to avoid discrimination, societal harm, and marginalization to maintain and even enhance acceptable norms. Machines make decisions autonomously. So how do we apply ethical principles to data-driven technology?
