Emerging Trends in Corporate Data Ethics: Research Findings
Series Kick-Off: Friday, October 2
12:00 – 1:00pm (ET)
Keynote by U.S. Senator Chris Coons

About the Series
To succeed in a data-driven economy, companies must innovate with data while maintaining the trust of their customers. This poses a dilemma since data analytics and AI can invade privacy or produce unfairness and so undermine trust. Business data ethics, a new field of corporate management, pursues responsible data practices that will enable businesses to be both innovative and ethical.

These five webinars will feature an outstanding slate of panelists representing federal agencies, think tanks, diverse industries (pharma/tech/consulting), and research units at The Ohio State University, and will address the ethics, management processes, technologies, and regulations surrounding this growing field. Businesses interested in data ethics management best practices, and anyone seeking to build a more ethical future for the data economy, are encouraged to attend.
