Datasheets for Datasets Help ML Engineers Notice and Understand Ethical Issues in Training Data

As part of my dissertation study, I tested whether Datasheets for Datasets support engineers’ ethical sensitivity. They do. Hurray! This paper also tested whether Ethical Sensitivity, a concept we adapted for technologists in the previous paper, can be used to understand how technologists work with ethics. It does. Hurray! This is my most highly cited paper and Timnit Gebru tweeted about it.
