<p> This week, Kyle interviews Scott Nestler on the topic of Data Ethics.</p> <p>Today, no ubiquitous, formal ethical protocol exists for data science, although some have been proposed. One example is the <a href="https://www.informs.org/About-INFORMS/Governance/INFORMS-Ethics-Guidelines">INFORMS Ethics Guidelines</a>.</p> <p>Guidelines like this are rather informal compared to other professions, like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath">Hippocratic Oath</a>. Yet not every profession requires such a formal commitment.</p> <p>In this episode, Scott shares his perspective on a variety of ethical questions specific to data and analytics.</p>
