  The Union government has unveiled a new draft bill that aims to bring sweeping changes to the iconic Indian Statistical Institute, a 94-year-old centre that helped design some of India’s earliest data-driven economic policies during the planning era, including the national sample surveys. The Union ministry of statistics and programme implementation uploaded the draft “The Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2025” on Friday, seeking public consultations on a spate of structural changes and a new executive authority. The ISI was founded in 1931 by PC Mahalanobis, a pioneer statistician and member of the erstwhile planning commission. His “Mahalanobis model”, a statistical framework, was pretty much the bedrock of India’s early industrialisation that stressed heavy state-led capital investments to substitute for imports. The ministry’s pro forma for public comments said the draft bill aimed at fostering “excellence” and “establishing clear institutional structures, streamlining deci...

  UK – Most current large language models failed to accurately answer a question focused on UK statistics, in an experiment published by the MRS Census and GeoDemographics Group (CGG). According to the report, most of the AI models got the answer wrong or refused to answer the question. Only one system returned the correct answers (according to ONS) the first time, while another got it right on the second attempt at prompting (with no changes to the prompt). The report found that while the outputs looked coherent in terms of their vocabulary and grammar, the quality of the numbers provided was poor. Additionally, running the same question again was likely to result in a different answer. Report authors Jaan Nellis and Peter Furness conducted the trials to look at what AI tools can do against a particular query about particular data, following a discussion in a CGG meeting earlier this year. Speaking to Research Live, Furness explained: “It’s no longer the preserve of experts t...
