From the campus of Harvard University, Ron Wasserstein shares a thoughtful Statistical Moment after speaking with students about one of today’s most pressing questions: What does the rise of AI mean for the future of statistics?
Across every recent visit, one theme has been constant—students are eager (and understandably curious) about how AI will shape their careers and the work of statisticians. While predicting the future isn’t simple, Wasserstein offers a clear perspective: The foundational values of statistics—critical thinking, rigor, and sound reasoning—will only grow more important in an AI-driven world.
Still, he invites the community into the conversation. Watch Ron’s video and share with him what you would say to students navigating this moment at ron@amstat.org. Shaping the future of statistics is a collective effort! #Statistics #DataScience #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ASACommunity #FutureofStatistics
