Advancements in artificial intelligence offer many opportunities for the collection, processing, and dissemination of official statistics. But with these opportunities come some notable challenges, especially regarding quality, transparency, reproducibility, and trust. Fortunately, existing ethical frameworks can help practitioners navigate these challenges. This presentation will explore how ethical frameworks such as the ASA's Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice and the Federal Data Strategy's Data Ethics Framework can offer invaluable insight in the context of AI and official statistics.
