Description: Data ethics research focuses on the study of ethical issues related to data practices and policies. This field addresses fundamental questions about how data is collected, stored, processed, and used, especially in a context where artificial intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly important role. Data ethics seeks to ensure that data handling practices respect privacy, fairness, and transparency, promoting responsible and equitable use of information. As organizations and governments rely more on data for decision-making, data ethics becomes an essential component to avoid biases, discrimination, and violations of rights. This approach is not limited to the protection of personal data but also encompasses the social and cultural impact of data-driven decisions. Research in this area involves collaboration among experts in technology, ethics, law, and social sciences, aiming to develop regulatory frameworks and guidelines that guide the ethical use of data in various contexts in the digital age.
