SUMMARY:Ethics for the working mathematician\, lecture 5: Regulation\, acc
 ountability\, and the law. - Maurice Chiodo (University of Cambridge)

CONTACT:Maurice Chiodo
DESCRIPTION:The work of mathematicians in industry is now very close to it
 s tangible applications\; we produce output that is extremely quick and ea
 sy to use. Just look at machine-learned algorithms that compute credit sco
 res. Now that we sit so close to the applications\, we need to consider wh
 at sort of responsibility we have. There are things we are\, and aren't\, 
 legally allowed to do. And there are consequences we might face if we fall
  foul of the law. Moreover\, given that our work is often cutting-edge\, w
 e must self-regulate to prevent the types of harm that legislators and oth
 ers have yet to realise is even possible.
