Data Governance Applications, Summer Term 2025, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
This seminar builds upon the foundational concepts introduced in the Data Governance Foundations seminar, which covers the management of legal requirements, ethical considerations, and implementation of data governance. The Data Governance Applications seminar extends these foundations by focusing on the practical application of data governance for AI systems. It emphasizes the implementation of frameworks that ensure data security, privacy, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Students will explore key topics such as data quality and data classification, privacy-enhancing technologies for data security, and methods for analyzing data bias, specifically in the context of speech, image, and natural language processing. A strong emphasis will be placed on practical, hands-on activities, including creating data cards for databases, using Python and Jupyter Notebooks to assess data quality, engaging in data cleaning, implementing privacy-enhancing techniques, and analyzing bias in voice data and its applications. The seminar will culminate in a group project where students will design and implement a comprehensive data governance framework for a chosen AI application.
Data Governance Foundations with Birgit Popp, Winter Term 2024/2025, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
This seminar introduces the foundations of Data Governance, focusing on the management of legal requirements, ethical considerations, metadata management and implementation of data governance. Starting from ethical and legal foundations, we explore their practical implementation using current AI topics such as training large language models and handling voice recordings. Students engage in interactive tasks including analyzing real-world governance failures and successes, making design choices based on different international laws, and role-playing ethical dilemmas. Additional hands-on activities involve meta data management exercises, culminating in a group project to create a data governance plan for a hypothetical organization. These practical experiences are designed to equip students with the knowledge and tools to implement effective data governance strategies in real-world settings.
