Abstract
In pursuing resilient societal ecosystems, crisis data management should consider ethical governance throughout its full lifecycle. The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Sciences paved the way for ethical considerations in crisis data policies by internationally defined shared values and principles for Open Science. Against this background, this paper identified key ethical concerns regarding crisis data policies during different emergency stages. It extensively analyzed ethical considerations during crisis data management, such as the seamless, trustworthy, and interoperable data flow, the dilemma and reciprocal interaction between right bases and utilitarian approaches, and possible ways of mapping Open Science core values into crisis data ethics. Providing crisis data ethics governance strategies in AI scenarios further validated effective data actions for AI adoptions in emergencies, hoping to showcase crisis data management highlighting ethical concerns. Future envisions address the ethical framework adhering to UNESCO’s Open Science principles and human rights to be developed for better data governance and other priorities to ensure a sustained, trustworthy, and fair ecosystem for efficient crisis data policies.
