Data Ethics

Emma McDonald is the Director of the Interim Centre for Data Ethics and 
Innovation at Stats NZ (New Zealand Government Department of Statistics)

Emma will talk about why Stats NZ is establishing a Centre for Data 
Ethics and Innovation, and why it needs to be set up as a network that 
draws on and leverages knowledge and expertise across relevant work 
programmes and people across agencies. As an initiative, the Centre is 
there to help agencies develop and maintain secure and trusted data 
environments. A large part of this is drawing on a diverse network of 
people who can support the with sharing the importance of data ethics 
being a critical component of data driven technologies.

Will be of-interest to Quants, Data Science, and Machine Learning folk; 
as well as those of us with wider interest in what should/not happen 
with personal, public, and corporate data...

She will be wanting to hear what folk have to say, and is interested to 
recruit competent individuals for hui*, consultations, and the like.
