A predictive pilot for inspecting rental properties proposes features that directly encode protected demographic attributes without ethics review. What should the information manager do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Dropping protected attributes straight into a predictive model without review is like wiring a power tool with the safety switch taped down—you might get work done, and you might hurt people. Escalate to ethics and governance before deployment. Awareness here means pause and review, not 'ship and see.'
Full Explanation
Responsible analytics requires review when models use sensitive or protected attributes, especially for civic enforcement contexts. Ethics and governance gates evaluate legality, fairness risk, and necessity before deployment. Information managers should block go-live until that review completes.
