The Korean Ministry of Data and Statistics has ramped up initiatives to enhance the accessibility of public data for artificial intelligence (AI) and is actively exploring AI-compatible global data standards. To achieve this objective, the ministry has convened a three-day workshop in Seoul, engaging over 80 data experts from statistical agencies and central banks across 25 countries.
The workshop is coordinated in partnership with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
A central focus of the workshop is the Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMx) standard, which facilitates the exchange of statistics and related information across diverse systems. The event encompasses various sessions aimed at standardizing and managing data for AI applications, as well as leveraging AI tools to enhance data quality and optimize data production and management processes.
Renowned experts in data standards and AI from prominent international organizations, such as the OECD and the Bank for International Settlements, are serving as instructors throughout the workshop. On the final day, participants will participate in the SDMx + AI Innovation Hackathon, focusing on practical implementations of AI-friendliness in data standards.
