Reducing Digital Data Bias Risk through Diversity and Inclusion
Biased data models can limit credibility with stakeholders, and they can actively discriminate against select groups. It’s easy to forget that technology is only as good as it has been designed and could reflect the designers’ biases.
Therefore, the awareness of biases is critical for ensuring that decision making based on data is accurate and reliable. This interactive session immerses the audience in a discussion about Data Bias Risk Considerations related to Diversity and Inclusion. Attendees will gain an understanding of data biases, learn about some examples and the related risk as well as ways to reduce through diversity and inclusion.
Learning objectives:
- Identify the potential origins of data bias at different stages of the data life cycle.
- Discuss the risks associated with data biases in a Digital Age.
- Recognize the benefits of a diverse and inclusive environment to reduce data biases.
Why is this important:
• Management accountants are responsible for problem solving and decision-making; they are strategic partners in the decision-making process at different levels in an organization.
• Data, enabled by professional judgement, is the most essential and valuable asset in the decision-making process.
• Management accountants are thus very interested in the data life cycle right from the data capture (raw data) stage to the data purge stage.
