Abstract

As data-based technologies proliferate, it is increasingly important for researchers to be aware of their work’s wider impact. Concerns like navigating the IRB and figuring out copyright and licensing issues are still key, but the current focus shift to matters like inclusivity, fairness, and transparency and their impact on the research/development life cycle have added complexity to the research task. In this talk, we will take a broad look at the various ways ethics intersects with natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence research and discuss strategies and resources for managing these concerns within the broader research framework.
