The growing application of big data and artificial intelligence in scientific research raises ethical and normative challenges, particularly in relation to openness, privacy, transparency, accountability, equity, and responsibility. The Data Ethics Working group of CODATA is working with global scholars to collaboratively establish a basic consensus for further activities and research on data ethics principles and a data ethics framework covering the whole data life cycle.  A recent session organized by the CODATA Data Ethics Working Group at the SciDataCon-International Data Week 2023 explored this topic.
