Applied Data Science Ethics

Overview

AI’s popularity has resulted in numerous well-publicized cases of bias, injustice, and discrimination. Often these harms occur in machine learning projects that have the best of goals, developed by data scientists with good intentions. This course, the second in the data science ethics program for both practitioners and managers, provides guidance and practical tools to build better models and avoid these problems.

What you'll learn

  • How to evaluate predictor impact in black box models using interpretability methods
  • How to explain the average contribution of features to predictions and the contribution of individual feature values to individual predictions
  • How to Assess the performance of models with metrics to measure bias and unfairness
  • How to describe potential ethical issues that can arise with image and text data, and how to address them
  • How to donduct an audit of a data science project from an ethical standpoint to identify possible harms and potential areas for bias mitigation or harm reducti…
