Mind the gap! The what, why and how of data bias, why you should avoid it and how you can save money or lives if you do. [Splunk Enterprise]
Why is the queue for the women’s restroom always longer than the men’s at a concert or theater? Data is fundamental to the modern world. From business decisions to economic development and public policy, we rely on data to allocate resources and make critical decisions. However, because so much of the data fails to take into account bias, such as gender and race, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. This results in missed economic opportunities and tremendous costs in time, in money and, in some cases, lives. In this session we will explore examples of data bias based on studies that are eye-opening, informative, and will change the way you look at the world. We will look at the pitfalls that lead to poor data-driven decisions, and their outcomes. We also will explore the steps you can take to inform your own data driven decisions. And, yes, we will answer the question, “Why is the women’s queue is longer than the men’s?”
