Data Action : Using Data for Public Good Hardback
by Sarah Williams
Hardback
Description
Big data can be used for good-from tracking disease to exposing human rights violations-and for bad-implementing surveillance and control.
Data inevitably represents the ideologies of those who control its use; data analytics and algorithms too often exclude women, the poor, and ethnic groups.
In Data Action, Sarah Williams provides a guide for working with data in more ethical and responsible ways.
Too often data has been used-and manipulated-to make policy decisions without much stakeholder input.
Williams outlines a method that emphasizes collaboration among data scientists, policy experts, data designers, and the public.
This approach creates trust and co-ownership in the data by opening the process to those who know the issues best.
