Data ethics and business ethics intersect in complex and often contentious ways, reflecting the tension between societal values and commercial imperatives. At its core, data ethics concerns the responsible and fair use of data, encompassing issues such as privacy, consent, bias, and transparency. On the other hand, business ethics pertains to the moral principles guiding organizational behavior, including integrity, honesty, and accountability.
