Data Ethics & Society Reading Group, Tuesday 4th June 2024 13:00-14:00 GMT
Description
In this session we read Dark Data by David Hand, which examines the data you don’t have, illustrating with many real-life examples how lack of awareness of what you are missing can lead to distorted understanding, incorrect conclusions, and mistaken actions.
Discussion points
- The author introduces different types of ‘Dark Data’. Which type did you find most surprising or relevant to your personal or professional experiences?
- Do you think you will use the type classifications of Dark Data going forward?
- The book provides real-life examples where Dark Data led to significant consequences. Is there a particular example that resonated with you the most, and why?
