AI and Machine Learning for Official Statistics - AIML4OS

AI and Machine Learning for Official Statistics (AIML4OS) is an ESSnet project aimed at delivering a comprehensive suite of resources, guidelines, methodologies and use cases for the implementation of AI/ML in Official Statistics. There are 15 funded countries in the consortium. The project is running from April 2024 to March 2028.

Project Structure

The AIML4OS project is divided into 13 workpackages, 6 of which are ‘supporting’ workpackages that provide cross-cutting insight and resources, and 7 of which are ‘use case’ workpackages, which explore a specific domain within AI/ML and its relevance to official statistics.
