ABOUT

In this talk, Ben Fields, Lead Data Scientist at BBC News, looks at the contributions public service media organizations can play in the emerging understanding of the responsible and ethical practice of data science. He looks at some specific project examples: what works and where we can improve. By the end of the talk, the audience should have examples and principals they can apply in their own data science practice.
