Most of the high-profile cases of real or perceived unethical activity in data science aren't matters of bad intent. Rather, they occur because the ethics simply aren't thought through well enough. Being ethical takes constant diligence, and in many situations identifying the right choice can be difficult.
In this in-depth book, contributors from top companies in technology, finance, and other industries share experiences and lessons learned from collecting, managing, and analyzing data ethically.
