Recall that data mining found that young men tend to buy beer and diapers at the same time when they shop at convenience stores. Now that you know this relationship exists, can you provide a rationale for it? Provide an example from you own experience of such a relationship. If data were used in this way without your permission, would you consider it to be a privacy issue?

What might happen if a student were denied admission to the university and she discovered that an expert system was involved in the admissions process? How would you feel about riding in a driverless car or a pilotless airplane?
