Abstract

This panel will introduce and debate a controversial resolution suggesting that the AIS community should take an active role in developing guidelines for the ethical practice of Big Data and analytics both in academic research and organizational practice. In addition, the resolution proposes that the AIS community should monitor and study the relevant stakeholders' compliance with these guidelines. The panel will first provide background to the implications of Big Data and analytics based on a recent NSF-funded research agenda setting workshop. The panelists will then comment on potential benefits and potential harms from the perspective of key stakeholder segments: individual citizens, organizations, and society as a whole. The panel will invite the audience to debate the major provocation: What is the appropriate role for the AIS community in ethical leadership on the uses of Big Data and analytics?
