The AI revolution is rapidly transforming the landscape of data analysis, posing substantial challenges for statisticians as they navigate their careers. The integration of AI across the private sector, government, and academia demands that statisticians adapt to new analytical methods, which can feel overwhelming to those rooted in traditional statistical practice. However, these challenges also present exciting opportunities. This four-person panel, consisting of representatives from and affiliates of the ASA's Committee on Data Science and AI, Committee on Career Development, Caucus of Industry Representatives, and Caucus of Academic Representatives, will explore how statisticians can overcome these challenges, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and strategically shape their career trajectories in an AI-driven world. The discussion will feature a mix of prepared questions for the panelists and audience participation.
