Although better known as a nurse, Florence Nightingale was also a skilled data scientist who successfully convinced hospitals that they could improve health care by using statistics. In 1859, in honor of these achievements, she became the first woman ever elected to the Royal Statistical Society. This talk will consider the question of what Nightingale’s experience can teach us about our own age, as we consider the future of artificial intelligence in health care. James Scott is Associate Professor of Statistics and Data Sciences. He is the author of a new book about artificial intelligence, AIQ: How People and Machines are Smarter Together, which explains what everyone needs to know in order to understand how AIQ is changing the world around us.
