Ethical Challenges in Data Science: Navigating the Complex Landscape of Responsibility and Fairness
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
The rapid advancement of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized decision-making across multiple domains, including healthcare, finance, and law enforcement. However, these advancements come with pressing ethical challenges, such as algorithmic bias, data privacy risks, and lack of transparency. This paper systematically analyzes these ethical concerns, focusing on state-of-the-art methodologies for bias detection, explainable AI (XAI), and privacy-preserving techniques. We provide a comparative evaluation of ethical frameworks, including the ACM Code of Ethics, IEEE Ethically Aligned Design (EAD), and regulatory policies such as GDPR and CCPA. Through in-depth case studies examining biased hiring algorithms, risk assessment models in criminal justice, and data privacy concerns in smart technologies—we highlight real-world implications of unethical AI. Furthermore, we propose a structured approach to bias mitigation, integrating fairness-aware machine learning, adversarial debiasing, and regulatory compliance measures. Our findings contribute to responsible AI governance by identifying best practices and technical solutions that promote fairness, accountability, and transparency in AI-driven systems.
