We recently celebrated World Statistics Day on 20 October.

To mark the occasion, the Statistical Society teamed up with the Australian Data Science Network for a lively online panel discussion on a topic of growing importance: trust in data.

The expert panel brought together a wealth of experience from government, academia, and industry to explore the real-world challenges of building and maintaining trust in data.

Since both the Statistical Society and the Australian Data Science Network are partner organisations of The Random Sample, we’re excited to share that discussion with you here.

The discussion was moderated by Lynne Giles, an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at The University of Adelaide and President of the Statistical Society of Australia.

The panellists are:
Dr Lucy Farrell is Director of Data Strategy in the Australian Centre for Disease Control Establishment Strategy Branch at the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. 
Associate Professor Kalinda Griffiths is a Yawuru woman living and working on Larrakia Country. She is an epidemiologist and the Director of Poche SA+NT at Flinders University.
Dr Ben Harrap is Vice President of the Statistical Society of Australia and a biostatistician who loves all things data. 
Simon Jackman is a leading analyst of public opinion, elections and electoral systems and an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney. 
Dr Sue Keay is Director of the UNSW AI Institute and an expert in robotics, AI, and automation.
Dr Aaron Snoswell is a senior research fellow in AI accountability at the QUT Generative AI Lab.
