AI Adoption and Methodology for National Statistics

National statistics offices are under pressure to modernise — to produce faster, more granular statistics while managing tighter budgets and rising respondent burden. AI offers a path forward, but adopting it requires deep domain expertise and a strategy tailored to the unique constraints of official statistics.

We have advised G20 national statistics offices on comprehensive AI adoption strategies, including multi-year transformation plans, data quality enhancement frameworks, and automated dissemination workflows. Our engagements cover the full scope: inter-agency data sharing, cost reduction through novel data sources, survey methodology redesign, and the development of interactive dashboards for economic structure visualisation.

We also deliver hands-on training programmes for statisticians, equipping teams to use large language models for automated data extraction from survey responses and administrative filings. Our workshops are built around the agency's own data and tools, ensuring immediate applicability.
