Hello I haven't really posted to this list for a decade or more I think. I work in statistical computing these days and rarely spend time on my employer's ( Statistics Canada) Internet Use surveys though I did write one short study in 2009. At work we do a lot of statistical computing and even analysts are expected to be able to calculate statistics for their own papers. We are moving off the statistical computing language SAS and going open source with R and Python. We are also expected to start exploring AI for use in making things more efficient and saving money.but also to do so with high ethical standards and of course working within our culture of citizen and business data privacy. I just wanted to write this email to see if there is any discussion possible here via email. I have used AI for the past few months to do some volunteer work. Here I am making an online collection of PDFs into a searchable set of blog posts on a Word Press site. I have learned that one can ask long search questions to ChatGPT and it will produce code examples and workflows, say to show me how to use R and the PDFTools an R package to extract text from these PDFs. I generally have to know what I am looking for to ask the questions but am happy so far with the results of this AI use. I also have to read the code and understand the loops and logic going on which allows my programming experience to validate the results. I am about to use Python suggested by ChatGPT to make an offline archive of all my Facebook posts from 2007 to now and also publish these in some neat fashion to a WordPress blog. anyways hoping to join the discussions on AI bias and ethics that have been going on for awhile.
