DATA ETHICS, ALGORITHMIC ACCOUNTABILITY, AND DIGITAL INEQUALITY IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH
Workshop at ACM Web Science 2021
Web Science studies how society and technology co-constitute one another and impact society at large. The nature of impact is shaped by data and algorithms used in the design of technical systems. Consequently, the nature of impact encompasses the issues related to data ethics and accountability of the algorithm for harm assignment. Further, the web facilitates rapid knowledge acquisition and makes internet users an integral part of the knowledge economy. The non-users of the internet are deprived of abundant technology resources which widen socio-economic disparities within and between the nations. Presently, the study of socio-economic disparities is western-centric. Hence, the web science community also bears the responsibility to investigate and address the socio-economic issues that arise when web technologies are used.
The duration of the talks is 35 min with a 30 min presentation followed by a 5 min discussion.
The duration of the panel discussion is 45min.
