At ORBICAP, we recognise the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a supportive tool in consulting, training, and statistical capacity building—particularly in the domain of official statistics. When used responsibly, AI can help strengthen analytical workflows, support data quality efforts, and enhance learning and documentation processes that underpin informed decision-making in public governance.

ORBICAP’s work combines deep statistical expertise with carefully governed use of AI-enabled tools. All AI usage is grounded in robust statistical methodology and aligned with international standards, including UNECE guidance on the use of generative AI in official statistics (January and March 2025).

Our use of AI follows the principles set out in the ORBICAP AI Policy, ensuring ethical, transparent, and responsible application of AI-enabled tools. ORBICAP acts as a professional user and advisor, applying AI in low-risk, human-supervised contexts, in full compliance with the EU AI Act, GDPR, and applicable data protection regulations.

Transparency is central to our approach. Where AI-enabled tools make a meaningful contribution to analyses, training materials, or advisory outputs, this is communicated to clients in a clear and appropriate manner, consistent with our quality documentation practices.

While AI can enhance efficiency and analytical support, ORBICAP places strong emphasis on human expertise and professional judgement. All AI-assisted outputs are reviewed and refined by experienced statisticians and advisors to ensure accuracy, contextual relevance, cultural sensitivity, and adherence to professional standards.

By combining AI-enabled methods, strong statistical competence, and a clear governance framework, ORBICAP supports statistical systems in addressing the evolving demands of modern public administration—while maintaining trust, transparency, and quality at every stage.
