2 CPE (2 technical)  |  2 Ethics

How much “big data” should any enterprise be expected to absorb, monitor, analyze, and respond to? What happens, for example, when warning signs of possible product defects – or possible regulatory noncompliance issues – are "buried" in the flood of big data accessible by auto manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, banks or similar data-infused enterprises? This workshop takes on this issue by exploring several real-world cases involving the ethics of data-awareness. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Major subjects

  • Introduction: Big Data is Getting Bigger
  • Ethical Implications of Big Data Getting Bigger
  • Ethics of Big Data: Three Theories
  • Trust Theory and the Duty to be Aware
  • Rules Theory and the Duty to Monitor
  • Cases

Learning objective(s)

  • Be apprised to the expansion of Big Data within major industries, including COVID-related healthcare.

  • Gain an understanding of privacy protection based on a theory of trust as opposed to rules-based or content-based approaches.

  • Consider real world cases that bring to light ethical considerations involving Big Data.
