Description

How much "big data" should any enterprise be expected to absorb, monitor, analyze, and respond to? What happens, for example, when warning signs of possible product defects - or possible regulatory noncompliance issues - are "buried" in the flood of big data accessible by auto manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, banks or similar data-infused enterprises? This workshop takes on this issue by exploring several real-world cases involving the ethics of data-awareness.

This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
