As our world becomes increasingly digital, the role of data science and AI literacy is more important than ever. Whether in academia, the professional world, or as engaged citizens, understanding these technologies has become indispensable for informed decision-making.
Join Emma McCoy, Vice President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education) and Professor of Statistics at the London School of Economics (LSE), as she sheds light on the importance of these skills by drawing on her own experiences. Emma will guide us through the landscape of data science, emphasising its role in extracting meaningful insights. She will also highlight the importance of AI literacy, going beyond basic understanding to critically assess and interpret AI outputs.
Finally, Emma will address the potential pitfalls of these skills as well as their applications, arming us with tips and tricks to avoid biases in the quest for accurate results.
