Topic(s): SMP-ESS-2023-AI-ML4OS-IBA-H7-6612
Type of action: SMP European Statistics

Project ID: 101146355

Objective:

The use of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) for the production of official statistics is one of the strategic domains that need to be developed further and where coordinated European Statistical System (ESS) action is beneficial. The One-Stop-Shop for Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning for official statistics (AIML4OS) will play an important role in developing innovative solutions with respect to statistical products and processes, allowing for more timely production of official statistics and the delivery of better responses to user needs. The AIML4OS will bring together a consortium of 14 countries to develop knowledge and use cases supporting the use of AI/ML-based solutions for the production of official statistics. The expected outcomes of the project are: • the delivery of a framework for developing AI/ML solutions to be used in the context of official and European statistics’ • the provision of access for ESS staff and partners to established and proven AI/ML solutions/resources to be leveraged in the context of official statistics production • the encouragement of engagement from ESS organisations with AI/ML for innovation purposes and to facilitate their understanding and realisation of the benefits of AI/ML • the delivery of economies of scale and resources through cooperation inside and outside the ESS and the acceleration from ideas regarding AI/ML to actual production
