Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we analyze and use data. But behind most AI methods are core ideas from statistics: uncertainty, estimation, and learning from data. In this lecture, I will show how modern AI systems, from machine learning to generative models, build upon and sometimes challenge traditional statistical thinking. We will revisit concepts such as inference, prediction, and interpretability, and see how they appear in today’s neural networks and large language models. I will also discuss why statistical reasoning is essential to make AI reliable, transparent, and fair. The goal is to open a conversation about how statistics and AI can grow together, and how statisticians can shape the future of data-driven science.
