K1 - A Statistician in the Loop: Building a Career in Trustworthy AI

Tuesday October 6, 2026 01:00 - 02:00 UTC

Statistics provides tools for answering questions that are central to building trustworthy AI: What works? What fails? How certain are we? In this talk, I will discuss my path from studying statistics to conducting research as a data scientist and now working full time in AI safety. I will share examples of how statistical thinking can support this work, including deciding what to measure, uncovering failure modes, quantifying uncertainty, and connecting evidence to real decisions. I hope to show that many paths lead into this field and that statisticians and data scientists have important skills to bring to the challenge of building trustworthy AI.
