Risk Analysis for an Uncertain Age: A Number-Free Introduction to the Method

#1695157: Risk Analysis for an Uncertain Age: A Number-Free Introduction to the Method

Description:	The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World invites you to Risk Analysis for an Uncertain Age: A Number-Free Introduction to the Method on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 4:00 pm-5:00 pm in the Annenberg Conference Room, George P. Shultz Building. The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World invites you to Risk Analysis for an Uncertain Age: A Number-Free Introduction to the Method on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 4:00 pm-5:00 pm in the Annenberg Conference Room, George P. Shultz Building. Sound policy decision making—especially in the US-China relationship—involves understanding risk: uncertainties and their consequences. Quantitative methods of risk analysis determine failure probabilities, forming input for rational risk management. Crucial for sound decision making, quantitative probabilistic analysis requires factual analysis independent of personal biases, based on known scenarios and outcomes. We invite you to join us for the launch event of this report by Dr. Elisabeth Paté-Cornell, which provides a conceptual introduction to the topic for policy professionals, using examples from surgical anesthesia, spacecraft heat shields, and AI-supported cyberattack warnings.
