The academic of the Government School and director of the GobLab UAI, María Paz Hermosilla, talks with Carlos Franco in The Science of the Podcast on Big Data and how the analysis of large amounts of information serves to identify patterns within large databases and thus Create public policies.

In addition, he delves into the creation of good practices in this area and refers to the fact that from the GobLab they teach how to put together a project taking into account ethics. She comments that they will publish a worksheet to formulate a work of data science that serves any public manager, to be able to think about a project from when one has the problem until its formulation, and from the beginning with an ethical diagnosis.

María Paz affirms that “we are studying different implementations of algorithms in public organizations in Chile”.
