We are excited to welcome David Schoeller-Diaz, USF Class of 2006 alumnus & global program leader, for a special session on practical ethics in data science & artificial intelligence. This talk complements our cohort's ethics module & the USF Data Science Speaker Series.
Talk Description: Most ethical decisions in data science are not dramatic dilemmas. Rather, they are embedded in everyday choices about how we formulate problems, what we include or exclude from our data, & who bears the consequences of our models. In this interactive session, David will share a practitioner's framework for ethical reasoning drawn from 20 years of building data-driven systems in complex, high-stakes environments, from cybersecurity operations protecting hospitals & NGOs to geospatial intelligence analysis & data systems that informed a national peace process. The session will explore how these experiences connect to the ethical challenges data scientists face today: AI governance & accountability, the concentration of power in the AI ecosystem, & the question of how to build technology that serves broad human flourishing. Rather than treating ethics as a constraint on technical work, this talk argues that ethical judgment is a dimension of professional craft, making data scientists more effective, more trusted, & more durable in their careers. Expect an interactive format with live polls, real-world scenarios, & open discussion throughout.
About the Speaker: David Schoeller-Diaz is a global program leader & systems builder with 20 years of experience leading data-driven operations across humanitarian, security, & technology sectors. His career spans intelligence analysis for U.S. Southern Command, humanitarian information management with iMMAP & the United Nations, cybersecurity partnerships at the CyberPeace Institute, academic research at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, & co-founding a social enterprise in Colombia. He holds a Master of Arts in Law & Diplomacy from The Fletcher School at Tufts University, an Executive Master in International Business from ESCP Business School, a PMP certification, an Executive Data Science Certificate from Johns Hopkins University, & a BA in Political Science from USF, where he was a McCarthy Fellow. David is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This talk is especially relevant for students interested in responsible artificial intelligence, trust & safety, policy, & governance.
We hope you can join us.
