The RSS Data Science and AI Section is a part of the Royal Statistical Society, established in 2017 to represent the data science community in the UK and beyond. It focuses on the application and implementation of data science and artificial intelligence (AI), working alongside the RSS's Computational Statistics & Machine Learning Section. The section includes members from business, industry, government, and academia, aiming to enhance the professional role of data scientists. Key activities include organizing meetings, providing guidance on ethical practices, and contributing to policy discussions. The section has co-authored *A Guide for Ethical Data Science* and participates in initiatives like the AI Task Force, which addresses various aspects of AI-related work. It also supports interdisciplinary projects, such as *Real World Data Science*, in collaboration with the American Statistical Association. The section is linked to the open-access journal *RSS: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence*, which covers a range of topics in AI and statistics.
