If everyone in the world uses this, what is the impact?

What’s the maximum potential impact of this work? If it’s not inspiring, is it worth pursuing at all? It’s vital to make sure that data science resources are invested in projects that will have a significant impact on the business. There is no greater insult than “You’ve created an elegant solution to an irrelevant problem.”

What’s the most evil thing that can be done with this?

This question is a bit different! Don’t ask it if you work with people who enjoy doing evil. Instead, save this one for groups that are so lawful and good that they limit their thinking. By asking the team to imagine what their impact could be if you abandon all constraints, you allow for a conversation that will help you identify opportunities that you would otherwise miss, and refine good ideas into great ones. We don’t want to build “evil” products, but subversive thinking is a good way to get outside the proverbial box.

One of the challenges with data is the power that it can unleash for both good and bad, and data scientists may find themselves making decisions that have ethical consequences. It is essential to recognize that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. It’s important to get outside input. When uncertain, we turn to well-regarded experts on privacy and legal matters (e.g., the Electronic Frontier Foundation).
