About

  • 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.

Mission & Purpose

The Royal Institution is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people with the world of science. Science shapes our lives, our culture and the world around us. It’s the medical treatment that may save your life. It’s the device in your pocket that connects you to the world. And it’s how we will solve the major global challenges of the future. Our mission is to harness science for the maximum benefit of society. The importance of our mission cannot be overstated. It was recognised by the 58 wealthy individuals who founded the Ri in 1799 and is just as relevant today. But to achieve the full benefits of what science has to offer, we must ensure that there is a healthy interaction between science and society – something we have pioneered for more than 200 years. There are multiple ways to get involved and support the Ri and to think more deeply about the wonders and applications of science.
