Overview

Ready or not, Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is here.

Federal agencies have begun to develop policies and strategies, provide access to Gen AI services to their staff, administer training, govern usage, and incorporate Gen AI into production workflows.

Agencies are at different points in this journey, but everyone from front line staff to senior executives are discussing how to leverage AI (beyond machine learning) across the organization to advance their mission. The conversation is no longer about whether to use AI but how to use it safely and effectively.

The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT), the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM), and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences are working together to organize a second AI Day for Federal Statistics on April 30th, 2026, in which the implications of AI for federal statistics will be explored.

The workshop will provide opportunities for training and capacity building, as well as share best practices for using AI to drive government efficiency, modernize the federal workforce, and address challenges facing the federal statistical system in serving the country’s data needs.

The Committee on National Statistics, the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology, and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences are working together to organize a second AI Day for Federal Statistics on April 30th, 2026, in which the implications of AI for federal statistics will be explored. The workshop will provide opportunities for training and capacity building, as well as share best practices for using AI to drive government efficiency, modernize the federal workforce, and address challenges facing the federal statistical system in serving the country’s data needs.

The sessions will focus on applications concerning federal statistics and cover the full range of use cases from productivity and document summarization to code development and conversion to statistical production work. There will be a poster session of work at federal agencies that includes all applications of any form of AI, such as machine learning, statistical modeling and analysis, operations, and coding and classification.
