Help mission driven organizations find a Responsible Data Science (RDS) approach to solving problems.
Provide members of the data science community a space where they can mingle, share, and inspire RDS innovations.
Empower leadership with an RDS Framework that helps them prioritize best practices and ethical outcomes.
Unaddressed biases in data and algorithms can perpetuate societal inequities. We aim to identify these biases and mitigate unfair outcomes.
Unclear processes erode trust and hinder understanding. We ensure transparency in our data practices and methodologies by clearly documenting and proactively communicating with stakeholders.
Compromised confidentiality can lead to harmful consequences. We uphold privacy through strict data governance and compliance with laws, ensuring controlled access and ethical use of data.
Inaccurate data and methodologies lead to misguided conclusions and decisions. We rigorously strive to ensure our work is scientific, accurate, and reflective of the truth to the best of our ability.
At our 2022 launch event (In front of 150+ members of the San Diego data science community!), science legend Bill Nye, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, and DSA Executive Director Patricia Lopez signed the Pledge for Responsible Data Science.
We meet with our working group members and volunteers throughout the year to discuss the latest progress in fostering a Responsible Data Science ecosystem and what steps we can continue to take in promoting ethical data usage.
The DSA team exhibits at various events and conferences year-round—doing so helps us spread the word about Responsible Data Science and how everyone can get involved.
We bring together data scientists and enthusiasts throughout the year at our events—we explore various topics within the data science industry with esteemed panelists and provide networking opportunities for students and working professionals.
