How can researchers share useful data while protecting the people behind it? This question took centre stage on 1–2 November 2026, when KAUST welcomed Professor Christian P. Robert of Paris Dauphine-PSL University for the Al-Kindi Distinguished Statistics Lectures. A leading contributor to Bayesian statistics and computational methods, Robert brought an international perspective to a challenge with implications across science, government and industry.
