On behalf of the International Science Council CODATA Working Group on Data Ethics, I would like to share the information on the DRAFT Policy Briefs that have been prepared by the Working Group and are available for download. Details below.
The growing application of big data and artificial intelligence in scientific research raises ethical and normative challenges, particularly in relation to openness, privacy, transparency, accountability, equity and responsibility. The Data Ethics Working group of CODATA is working with global scholars to collaboratively establish a basic consensus for further activities and research on data ethics principles and a data ethics framework covering the whole data life cycle. This will help CODATA to advance its mission in championing global open data exchange and applications in alignment with the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.?The proposed session will explore research and scholarly practice related to data ethics to advocate for open and ethical data practices at the global level.??
As part of the?SciDataCon ?side of?International Data Week , a session organised by the CODATA WG on Data Ethics, looking at four aspects of data ethics relevant to the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science:?Data Ethics and the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
