Data Ethics
Emma McDonald is the Director of the Interim Centre for Data Ethics and
Innovation at Stats NZ (New Zealand Government Department of Statistics)
Emma will talk about why Stats NZ is establishing a Centre for Data
Ethics and Innovation, and why it needs to be set up as a network that
draws on and leverages knowledge and expertise across relevant work
programmes and people across agencies. As an initiative, the Centre is
there to help agencies develop and maintain secure and trusted data
environments. A large part of this is drawing on a diverse network of
people who can support the with sharing the importance of data ethics
being a critical component of data driven technologies.
Will be of-interest to Quants, Data Science, and Machine Learning folk;
as well as those of us with wider interest in what should/not happen
with personal, public, and corporate data...
She will be wanting to hear what folk have to say, and is interested to
