+The Royal Statistical Society has recently set out a clear and compelling message: AI is Statistics. This simple phrase captures a powerful truth about the foundations, practice, and future of artificial intelligence—and the central role of statistical thinking within it. It is also, of course, intentionally provocative and necessarily simplifies a highly complex and nuanced area. 
+
+This nuance and complexity is acknowledged and addressed in the paper itself, but no single publication can fully capture the breadth of perspectives on this topic - which is why we’ve launched a call for submissions to encourage a richer, more multidisciplinary dialogue.
+We are inviting writers, researchers, and practitioners across disciplines to respond to this theme with original pieces that inform, challenge, and inspire.
+
+We are particularly interested in contributions that:
+* Illuminate how statistical ideas underpin modern AI methods
+* Explore the relationship between data, uncertainty, and decision-making in AI systems
+* Offer case studies of statistics in real-world AI applications
+* Examine ethical, societal, or policy implications through a statistical lens
+* Challenge or expand the “AI is Statistics” framing in thoughtful ways
+* Communicate complex ideas accessibly to a broad audience
+
+We welcome a range of formats, including opinion pieces, explainers, case studies, and thought leadership essays.
+
+This is an opportunity to shape an important narrative, one that positions statistics not just as a supporting discipline, but as a driving force behind trustworthy, effective, and responsible AI.
+
+**Help us tell the story: AI is Statistics.**
