Data for Good
Exchange
Data for Good Exchange (D4GX), an initiative of Bloomberg’s Office of the CTO, brings together data scientists with nonprofits and government agencies to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Bloomberg has hosted this annual conference since 2014. The forum enables participants to build cross-sector relationships while solving problems for the social good that might not otherwise be addressed by market forces. Participants share insights and progress on applying modern machine learning and data science methods to problems in public and nonprofit sectors as well as methods around their application, data collaboration and data science education.

+ data scientists developing the Community Principles on Ethical Data Sharing
This past year, in partnership with technology collective Data for Democracy and data technology company BrightHive, we launched an effort to develop an ethical code around data science, called the Community Principles on Ethical Data Sharing (CPEDS). The intent is that CPEDS will influence individual data scientists who can then change their institutions, from the bottom up. The governance of the code itself is being driven by the data science community and will exist as an evolving document.
