In statistics, data are not merely numbers but representations of what exists and happens—tools for understanding and making decisions based on scientific evidence. The paradigms of statistical data production and dissemination are evolving with the advent of AI. This technological evolution requires careful human oversight to shape an ethical and sustainable future, expand statistical information, and mitigate the risks that every revolution brings.
