📊 AI & Data Quality: A Critical Intersection for Official Statistics 📍 Address: buff.ly/3QIpPUV 📅 3 March 2025 ⏰ 8:30 AM NYC / 2:30 PM Paris 🔗 Register: buff.ly/3QDU7s6 🔹 Organized by: UNICEF, PARIS21, and OECD Statistics Artificial Intelligence is transforming official statistics, creating opportunities to enhance data quality, improve efficiency, and generate new insights. But for UNICEF, the critical question remains: How can AI be leveraged to strengthen data for children? UNICEF is excited to join this panel to bring a child-focused perspective to the discussion, emphasizing the need for high-quality, inclusive, and representative data to drive better policies and programs for children worldwide. Many of the biggest data gaps—especially in education, health, child poverty, and protection—exist in the very places where AI-driven solutions could have the greatest impact. This discussion will explore: ✅ How AI can improve data quality and coverage for children, particularly in the Global South ✅ Addressing bias and inclusivity in AI-powered statistics ✅ The importance of high-quality training data and the risks of “garbage in, garbage out” ✅ Ensuring that AI strengthens, rather than undermines, official statistics UNICEF looks forward to engaging with member states and partner agencies to hear their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of AI in official statistics. 🗣️ Speakers 📌 Yves Jaques of Frontier Data & Tech Unit - UNICEF 📌 Samuel Annim Statistician - Ghana Statistical Service 📌 Prof. Dr. Georges-Simon Ulrich, Director General - Swiss Federal Statistical Office FSO 📌 Steve MacFeely, Chief Statistician - OECD Statistics 📌 João Pedro Azevedo, Chief Statistician - UNICEF 📌 François Fonteneau - PARIS21 🔹 Join us at UNICEF House or online as we discuss how AI can help build stronger, more inclusive official statistics that leave no child behind.
