# Event Details - **Event Name**: Statistics and stupidly smart AI - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Statistician Arthur Turrell explores how we can separate bad data from good, how it impacts decisions, and why that matters for you.About this EventStatistics are under pressure. It's harder to count the things that we make today than it was to count the things we used to make. And surveys, once the life-blood of our nation's statistics, are facing steep declines in response rates. Statistics are critical infrastructure for the UK, just like our roads or water pipes: they are used to make decisions about everything from school funding to taxes. So, what can we do to combat this change in behaviour?In this talk, statitstician Arthur Turrell shows how considered use of artificial intelligence can help to improve statistics and take the pulse of the nation in new ways. We'll see AI track traffic, predict the future, and work out if you’re doing the dishes, all in the name of better data. Like all technologies, the way AI is used can be good or bad and we’ll examine the importance of considered use of it. It can be thought of as ‘stupidly smart’, so you need to carefully think of what you ask for and how you ask for it – else just as with a mischievous genie, you might not quite get what you’ve wished for! And, to cap it all off, you might get let in on the secret of how AI could win you millions.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri's Event image by Magda Ehlers via Pexels - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789 - **Event Categories**: artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Royal Institution - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.9, max: 21.44, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Royal Institution - **lat**: 51.5097196 - **long**: -0.14252569999996467 - **full address**: The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Statistics and stupidly smart AI - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d09b66022ff7e0286d713d55400e9c4608b501850449eb2767b7323ec12307e5-rimg-w1000-h1499-dcd3d3d3-gmir.jpg?v=1777385895 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Statistics and stupidly smart AI being held? - **A:** Statistics and stupidly smart AI takes place on Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Statistics and stupidly smart AI? - **A:** Statistics and stupidly smart AI is organized by The Royal Institution. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Statistics and stupidly smart AI", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d09b66022ff7e0286d713d55400e9c4608b501850449eb2767b7323ec12307e5-rimg-w1000-h1499-dcd3d3d3-gmir.jpg?v=1777385895", "startDate": "2026-07-11", "endDate": "2026-07-11", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Royal Institution", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "21 Albemarle Street", "postalCode": "W1S 4BS", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5097196", "longitude": "-0.14252569999996467" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Statistician Arthur Turrell explores how we can separate bad data from good, how it impacts decisions, and why that matters for you.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-29", "availabilityEnds": "2026-07-11", "validFrom": "2026-08-29", "lowPrice": "7.90", "highPrice": "21.44", "price": "7.90", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-29", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-29", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789", "price": "21.44", "name": "Theatre - Standard + Donation" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-29", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-29", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789", "price": "17.27", "name": "Theatre - Standard" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-29", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-29", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789", "price": "11.02", "name": "Theatre - Concession" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-29", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-29", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/statistics-and-stupidly-smart-ai/100001987601231789", "price": "7.90", "name": "Theatre - Ri Member or Ri Patron" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Royal Institution", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-royal-institution/22530720", "description": "The Royal Institution (Ri) is an independent charity dedicated to creating opportunities for the public and scientists to explore science together.
