Today we talked with Jesse Clifton, a graduate student at NCSU working in statistics. He’s writing his dissertation about the allocation of spare medical resources for disease and he now focuses his research on AI and how to keep it on task and safe. In high school, Jesse Clifton wasn’t a big fan of math. He started college working towards a degree in political science, but he soon found that the subject didn’t interest him enough to make a career out of it. He took math classes in college and realized that they were much more interesting than those he took in high school. This eventually led to him abandoning his political science career path and becoming a graduate student in statistics.
