00:00How has censorship changed the way we live?
00:04Well, censorship has undergone a great transformation
00:07from decennial censorship to continuous censorship.
00:10We now do censorship every year,
00:13and therefore all the demographic, social and economic information
00:18that censorship has always provided
00:20with reference to the characteristics of the population,
00:22to the levels of education, to employment,
00:25and above all to the population count,
00:27are information that can now be disseminated with an annual cadence.
00:32Consider that the population count,
00:34which is disseminated at the annual level,
00:36is something that helps the country
00:38in many aspects of social and economic life,
00:40because the count serves to distribute the health fund,
00:43to make transfers to local bodies,
00:45to determine electoral systems, and so on.
00:49So, annual censorship is a great advancement
00:52of tempestuousness and quality from this point of view.
00:55Artificial intelligence is something that still needs to be well defined.
00:59There are many applications and many philosophies
01:04of artificial intelligence that still do not converge.
01:07In some way we have to keep them in mind.
01:09Compared, for example, to censorship,
01:11artificial intelligence can be used with great advantage
01:14if we are able to put it into the real processes
01:17of building censored data,
01:19not follow trends, because now it is necessary
01:22to use artificial intelligence,
01:24but to be able to link it, for example,
01:26to the problems of classification,
01:28of counting, of correction,
01:30of data construction,
01:32it would be worth trying to make some improvements.
01:36There is also a whole aspect to consider,
01:38which is the governance of artificial intelligence.
01:41Artificial intelligence must be managed in some way,
01:44also in terms of internalization of skills,
01:47of management of platforms,
01:49of contractual relations with external subjects,
01:52which makes everything very complex.
01:55We are at the beginning,
01:57the official statistics maintain its mission
01:59to produce official statistics for the country,
02:02so we will see a little,
02:04it is a very stimulating panorama,
02:06but still to be deepened.
