Data Privacy, Governance and Policy in AI

Data ethics refer to the principles and guidelines that inform the responsible collection, handling and use of data that respects the privacy and rights of data subjects. Data legislation is vital because it mandates what an organisation or an individual can do when collecting and processing data. However, data ethics are concerned with what we should and should not do with data; they build on and go beyond legal compliance. In this course, you will explore data ethics – principles and guidelines that can show you how to collect, handle and use data in a way that respects the privacy and rights of data subjects. Find out how data ethics build on and go beyond following data legislation.
