Hello everyone,
I would like to mention again the idea of discussing Bias. I’m sorry for
missing the chance in the last meeting, but I saw that there were already a
lot of issues to discuss and I didn’t want to take more of your time.
This short article
gives
an interesting view of what could be the consequences of biased algorithms
and databases.
I think bias is more like a cross-section topic and related with ethics, so
I’m not so sure where we should include this, if you think we should
Regarding the DMP discussion, personally I think that if we have the chance
to encourage the community to do this, we should do it. A DMP could be
annoying, but is a good practice that could be really beneficial.
Thinking in the discussion took me to a bigger picture. A lot of what we
are doing could be understood as recommendations, but they also could be
understood as “incentives”. I don’t have the answer, but I think it’s
worthy to think about including or mentioning incentives to (or within) the
recommendations we are building, like the funny examples you mentioned on
DMP during the meeting. Is there a possibility of creating nudges to push
the community into this kind of good practices (like a behavioural
approach)?
I whish you all an excellent week-end
Take good care and enjoy.
Best
