8th economic census to use Artificial Intelligence, to be completed in 2025

The statistics ministry aims to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a significant and concrete manner for the eight Economic Census (EC), which is likely to be conducted through 2025 (January to December), two officials told FE.

“The statistics ministry shall use AI to pre-fill data in the forms that will be filled by survey (EC) participants, as the objective is to minimise errors and time taken to complete the exercise,” one official said. “AI is going to be used as a key tool going forward in many key surveys that will be conducted.”
