Discuss: Case Studies in Ethics from Data Science and ML Research

This is the discussion thread for the lesson "Case Studies in Ethics from Data Science and ML Research" (Research Methodology, Unit 5). Ask questions, share real-world examples, and help classmates who are stuck. Conversation starters. Try explaining one of these in your own words: - Explain how the COMPAS recidivism algorithm produced racially disparate outcomes and what this reveals about using historical data to predict future behaviour - Describe the Gender Shades study's findings on commercial facial recognition systems and the research design that exposed them - Analyse the Cambridge Analytica case as a failure of informed consent and data minimisation
