I am Dramane Bako, a statistician and data scientist specialising in survey methodology, administrative data, agricultural statistics, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to official statistics.

This blog provides weekly updates on AI tools, methods and practical use cases that can support surveys, censuses and administrative data systems. It is intended for statisticians, data scientists, national statistical offices, researchers and development practitioners who want to understand how AI can improve data collection, processing, quality control, imputation, analysis and dissemination.

My aim is to translate fast-moving AI developments into practical insights for statistical work, with particular attention to methodological quality, transparency, data governance and responsible use.
