Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This report (32 page PDF) is a summary of a much longer document (240 page PDF, in German). It takes a structured and measured approach to data ethics, beginning with underlying principles, then proposing a graduated set of measures based on the severity of the risk. The report defies summarization; there are 75 different points, some of which seem reasonable to me and others less so. The value, therefore, in addition to learning of the specific opinions guiding the German government, is a structured presentation of the range of issues related to ethics and data.
