"Big Data" Problem
Hey
Namaskara~Nalama~Guten Tag~Bonjour
(Sorry, as this might not be the right question for this forum. However am
not sure which other forum would be able to address this problem)
I work for a "Big Data" company and we are supposed to provide the
technology to a bank which will link the corporate accounts and savings
accounts of a customer.
So if a bank has given a corporate loan to a company and the company does
not dole out some payments from its savings account, then the bank should
warn itself and take action against the company as there might be a
probability that the company might default on its loan.
Now we would be providing the technology however it is not completely
ethical to link the corporate account to the savings account of the
customer company. However the bank is saying, as it has all the data it can
link it without any hassle. Even without informing customers.
This problem is similar to the "Nuclear problem" where the physicist
provided the nuclear technology to build nuclear bombs, but said that they
just provided the technology. But it is for the politicians to decide
whether or not to use nuclear bombs on civilians. And hence there is no
moral obligation on the physicist.
What do you think I should do? Is there a problem at all or am i just over
imagining things? Should I provide the technology to the bank to link the
two accounts?
Thank You
Deepak

Re: "Big Data" Problem
Posted by Deepak Goel <de...@gmail.com>.
I totally agree with everyone and some final parting thoughts on everyone's
answers:
1. I do not know of any work laws in India (I am out of India) which deals
on ethics. Even if they are there, they must be in books.
2. I cannot personally afford to consult a lawyer on this. As for my
company, I am too small time a guy to suggest them anything on legal
matters. I can always voice my thought out but that's about it. Quitting
for ethical reasons could be one option, but then i would be just plainly
running away from the problem like an ostrich (Also my & my family survival
depends on this job)
3. About whether this is a appropriate question for this mailing list is
for everyone to decide. I had checked Hadoop's instructions on the mailing
list and this is what they had to say:
*The user@ mailing list is the preferred mailing list for end-user
questions and discussion.*
http://hadoop.apache.org/mailing_lists.html
So it does not really draws the line between what can be asked and what
cannot be asked. Anyways I agree it was my mistake to post in this forum
and I am sorry for that (It is just that I haven't eaten and slept for the
past couple of days because of this matter and one can hardly understand
'courtly and well-bred behaviour' when I am so pale)
4. I did read and had a discussion about what can be used as information in
corporate banking. But it is too vague, subjective. Does anyone has a link
on this? Also from personal experience, I have seen companies especially
banks go to lengths which are completely unethical and illegal (like
recovery of loans and bad debts from poor people). And they don't stop at
anything. I am not blaming any particular bank or person, but I guess it is
just the nature of business. It is for us an individual to decide what kind
of technology we are building and how it can be misused. Will it be used
for war? Will it be used for terrorism? Will it be used harassing poor &
unfortunate people? How can we build technology which will provide
safeguards against these matters for the sake of humanity and life as a
whole?
*Overall, I am sorry once again for posting this discussion on this group.
I will sort this matter out on my own. Thank you everyone for your effort
and time.*

I would politely remind you that, per the note that Chris sent, this is not
really the best discussion for this community.
I would also suggest that you may want to better understand permissible use
of information in a corporate banking context before suggesting something
is unethical.

Subject: Re: "Big Data" Problem
I did discuss with the product owner. It seems, it is a business
requirement and we cannot question the customer on whether their need is
valid or not (Or is it legal or ethical).
I was wondering, (on a technical level!), can't we incorporate a change in
Hadoop, whereby it allows the parent entity (in this case the corporate
account) to only connect to the child entity (personal account) if there is
a confirmation received from the customer~child entity (through email, sms,
whatsapp, etc).
I am sure this is not a one~off case and would be applicable everywhere (In
most business needs where we are connecting different systems together and
are bound to raise legal & moral questions)

Re: "Big Data" Problem
Posted by Deepak Goel <de...@gmail.com>.
Hmm..i understand what you are saying Chris :)
However it is like that. You are building a knife (Hadoop in this case) and
you would know that you would kill someone by it. Would you build the knife
at all (So it is about Hadoop also in some sense. But as pointed about by
you, it is not a technical question. However it is about usage of Hadoop)?
Anyways sorry if I have taken up time of everyone :-(

Re: "Big Data" Problem

Hello Deepak,
This is a fascinating question, but it's not the right forum. This list is for questions on usage of Apache Hadoop. I don't see anything about Hadoop in your question. Even if the software in question involves Hadoop, it's not a question about usage. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a more appropriate forum for this question, so I don't have a recommendation for where to take this.

Subject: "Big Data" Problem
Hey
Namaskara~Nalama~Guten Tag~Bonjour
(Sorry, as this might not be the right question for this forum. However am not sure which other forum would be able to address this problem)
I work for a "Big Data" company and we are supposed to provide the technology to a bank which will link the corporate accounts and savings accounts of a customer.
So if a bank has given a corporate loan to a company and the company does not dole out some payments from its savings account, then the bank should warn itself and take action against the company as there might be a probability that the company might default on its loan.
Now we would be providing the technology however it is not completely ethical to link the corporate account to the savings account of the customer company. However the bank is saying, as it has all the data it can link it without any hassle. Even without informing customers.
This problem is similar to the "Nuclear problem" where the physicist provided the nuclear technology to build nuclear bombs, but said that they just provided the technology. But it is for the politicians to decide whether or not to use nuclear bombs on civilians. And hence there is no moral obligation on the physicist.
What do you think I should do? Is there a problem at all or am i just over imagining things? Should I provide the technology to the bank to link the two accounts?
Thank You
Deepak

Re: "Big Data" Problem

Well the bank gives out loans to corporate customers and gets a higher rate
of returns. However there is a higher risk to it and everyone knows in
advance about it. Earlier the savings and corporate account were separate
and not linked to each other (they were separate islands). Now the bank
with the help of "Big Data" technology is linking everything without
telling the customer ~ actually spying into the personal life of the
corporate people (Also it had never informed the customer earlier too!)
It is like this: If your son keeps a $100 bill in the refrigerator, you
obviously can profit by taking it and not telling him about it. However you
can tell him and then take the money. Which one of the options would you
take? Which according to you is more ethical?

Re: "Big Data" Problem

Just out of curiosity, when you say "however it is not completely ethical
to link the corporate account to the savings account of the customer
company", where are you getting the idea that it is not ethical? I am not
saying I think it is or isn't, but I am more curious as to how you arrived
at this conclusion and the reasoning behind it.

It sounds very unethical, if i had the choice i wouldn't do it, think
however that if you don't then someone else with less moral standards will
do
