<b>The purpose</b> of the DETG is to provide advice to CODATA, including the International Data Policy Committee, on current data ethics issues, in areas such as scientific integrity, protection of personal data, indigenous data sovereignty, computational uses
of data, including AI and machine learning, and equality, diversity and inclusion.</p>

<b>The significance of the DETG’s work</b> is predicated on trust in the integrity of science which is dependent on ethical creation, use and sharing of data. Subjects’ data rights such as for privacy and rights of representation must be respected throughout
the research process. Data distribution must ensure equal access for researchers in every context, including low resourced contexts and recognising the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion among researchers. The increasing use of computational techniques
including Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, by academic researchers demands consideration of the data ethics issues that this raises, especially around bias and privacy.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<b>The anticipated impact of the DETG, </b>considering the CODATA Strategic Plan on Cross-Domain data-driven innovation and the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, will be to contribute to CODATA’s priority on Data Policy through promoting principles, policies
and practices for FAIR Data and trustworthy, equitable and transparent science. The DETG will develop a data ethics framework, co-produced with the CODATA community that will consider domain specific ethical issues (such as research purpose, data source object,
computational methods in use and application scenario). The DETG will promote the successful implementation of the CODATA Strategic Plan 2023-2027 and lead in the development of standards in and application of global data Ethics.</p>
