Littauer Pro fessor of Philosophy and Public Administration. Drawing inspiration from t he title of Max Tegmark’s book\, \;Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of  \;Artificial Intelligence\, the \;series draws upon a range of sc holars\, technology leaders\, and public interest technologists to \;a ddress the ethical aspects of the long-term impact of artificial intellige nce on society \;and human life.\n\n\n\n Held on select Monday evenings  \;at 5:30 – 6:45 in Wexner 102\, and occasionally on other weekdays\,  \;the series will also be shared on Facebook Live and on the Carr Cen ter website. A light dinner will be served.\n\n\n\n James H. Waldo\, Gordon McKay Professor of Practice of Computer Science at the John A. Paulson Sc hool of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, will be giving a talk titled\, 'Privacy and Accuracy in Data Science: Do We Need to Choose Only One?'\n\n \n\n  \;\n\n\n\n Description:\n\n\n\n The accessibility of large data set s and the innovations in machine learning promises huge payoffs in the soc ial sciences and education. But basic ethics\, and a number of laws\, requ ire that we protect the identities of the persons whose data is in these s ets. Different laws set different requirements\, none of which can guarant ee that the data cannot be re-identified. More worrying is that de-identif ication of these data sets often results in introducing considerable stati stical bias into these sets\, causing the conclusions reached by using dat a science techniques to be called into question.\n\n\n\n This talk will cen ter around this trade-off with a particular data set: the data generated b y students taking massive open on-line courses (MOOCs) offered by HarvardX . We will discuss what the law requires to share such sets\, what we disco vered about the de-identified data\, and efforts to try to square the circ le that combines privacy and accuracy.\n\n\n\n  \;\n\n DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190422T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190422T184500 LAST-MODIFIED:20190530T144802Z LOCATION: Wexner Room 102\, 79 JFK Street Cambridge\, MA\, 02138 SUMMARY:Towards Life 3.0 - Ethics and Technology in the 21st Century: Priva cy and Accuracy in Data Science: Do We Need to Choose Only One?
