AI, Household Surveys, and a New Statistical Agenda: Key Highlights from the Recent OECD CSSP Meeting
The role of artificial intelligence in official statistics, maintaining the highest data quality standards, and addressing the rapidly evolving needs of data users were the central topics of the 23rd meeting of the OECD Committee on Statistics and Statistical Policy (CSSP).
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most vital tools in modern analytics. When properly implemented, AI technologies can not only automate complex data processing tasks but also help identify previously hidden trends faster - enabling official statistics to respond to contemporary global challenges with even greater precision.
Another key focus of the meeting was household surveys: a fundamental source of insight into citizens' quality of life and a cornerstone of socio-economic decision-making. Addressing the global challenge of declining response rates, Poland shared its national experiences and initiatives aimed at reversing this trend.
The CSSP plays a critical role within the OECD framework, setting statistical standards for the world's most developed economies. Active participation in this prestigious body allows Poland to directly contribute to shaping solutions that guarantee top-tier data quality and international comparability.
Statistics Poland represented the country’s official statistics at the Paris meeting, with a delegation led by Vice-President Hanna Strzelecka.
