Acerca do autor
Gary Smith received his Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University and was an Assistant Professor there for seven years. He has won two teaching awards and written (or co-authored) more than 100 academic papers and 20 books. His Standard Deviations: Flawed Assumptions, Tortured Data, and Other Ways to Lie with Statistics (Overlook/Duckworth, 2015) was a London Times Book of the Week and has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Turkish. The AI Delusion (Oxford University Press, 2018) argues that, in this age of Big Data, the real danger is not that computers are smarter than us, but that we think computers are smarter than us and, so, trust computers to make important decisions they should not be trusted to make. The 9 Pitfalls of Data Science (Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Jay Cordes), won the PROSE award for Excellence in Popular Science & Popular Mathematics. His statistical and financial research has been featured in various media, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Wired, NPR Tech Nation, NBC Bay Area, CNBC, WYNC, WBBR Bloomberg Radio, NBC Think, Silicon Valley Insider, Motley Fool, Scientific American, Forbes, MarketWatch, MoneyCentral.msn, NewsWeek, Fast Company, The Economist, MindMatters, OZY, Slate, and BusinessWeek.
