Government Data: How Do They Serve Us but Also Concern Us
Harvard Data Science Review Podcast
11/19/21 • 35 min
On this episode we examine how the U.S. government collects data to serve the public and how to ensure such a process does not hurt the people it aims to serve. We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of this topic including privacy issues, the 2020 U.S. Census, how well-intended methods may adversely affect minority populations, and why it’s important for local communities to collect and report their own data.
