The Role of the Statistician in Ethical AI: An Overview of my Thesis


Event details

In this talk I’ll be giving a little overview of my thesis, The Role of the Statistician in Ethical AI. My PhD topic is interdisciplinary and varied and this seminar will be no different! We’ll be jumping from discussions of what AI is, to regulation, to generalised Bayesian analysis, model synthesis and beyond. The goal is to launch a debate regarding the extent to which statisticians engage with AI in everyday practice, how statisticians can and should engage with ethics and the role that the statistical foundations should play in these conversations. In other words, the goal is to introduce a bunch of questions that we currently don’t have the answers to.
