BoF-T-06: AI in the Statistics Classroom: Designing Modules to Prepare Students for the Workplace


Tatiana Krikella (York University)


Information

AI is reshaping how statisticians and data scientists work, yet most statistics courses do not explicitly explore what professional practice looks like in an AI-integrated world. How can we help students discover what post-graduation life entails, and enter it with confidence, curiosity, and strong statistical judgment? This Birds of a Feather session will explore how to design discipline-specific AI modules that highlight real-world workflows, essential human skills, and responsible use. Participants will discuss workplace applications of AI and collaboratively generate ideas for developing and implementing career-relevant modules within statistics curricula.
