About the Project: This research identified options for best practices to mitigate the emergence of bias within data management. These options will inform recommendations on how CSIS can balance the privacy-security dilemma, with emphasis on bias mitigation, accountability, privacy rights, and alignment with CSIS’ mandate. The outputs from this project were a publication, presentations, a policy brief, and a policy report (available in English and French) provided to CSIS to support these goals.
