Abstract

Abstract: Being asked to write about the ethics of big data is a bit like being asked to write about the ethics of life. Big data is now integral to so many aspects of our daily lives—communication, social interaction, medicine, access to government services, shopping, and navigation. Given this diversity, there is no one-size-fits-all framework for how to ethically manage your data. With that in mind, I present seven ethical values for responsible data use.
