    Dear OECD Podcast team,

    Thank you for producing and uploading this podcast. Unfortunately, I cannot listen to or download any episodes from this particular show. I’m wondering if anyone else is facing the same issue. All other podcasts work perfectly fine.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Love, work and taxes: How tax systems shape our choices
Q: How can the tax wedge feature in big life and work decisions, like whether a second earner joins the workforce, whether someone increases their hours, or whether a couple decides to walk down the aisle?
Tax provisions for married couples can encourage marriage and provide savings, but may also raise tax rates on second earners. Household-level changes to post-tax income can affect whether an inactive spouse enters work or increases their hours.
Love, work and taxes: How tax systems shape our choices
Q: What exactly is the tax wedge, and why should non-tax specialists care about it?
It measures the gap between an employer's total cost of hiring and an employee's take-home pay as a share of that cost. Benefits can increase household income and lower the measured wedge.
AI and the future of official statistics with André Loranger - Chief Statistician of Canada
Q: Looking ahead, what capabilities are most critical for the next 12-24 months?
Continuation of modernization through AI integration across data ingestion to processing; building a workforce with cross-disciplinary skills; developing governance and transparency mechanisms; and ensuring AI readiness across outputs so that Canadian statistics remain trusted and useful.
AI and the future of official statistics with André Loranger - Chief Statistician of Canada
Q: What capabilities do statistical offices need to develop to leverage AI?
A blend of traditional statistical expertise with AI literacy, governance, and risk management; a hub-and-spoke model where a core team leads prototyping while the rest of the organization builds AI understanding; metadata design and data engineering becoming core competencies; and a long-term modernization vision (StatsCan 2030) focused on automation and multidisciplinary skills.
AI and the future of official statistics with André Loranger - Chief Statistician of Canada
Q: What does quality mean now in the AI era?
Quality remains anchored in traditional dimensions (relevance, accuracy, timeliness, accessibility, interpretability, coherence) but now includes new aspects like traceability, provenance, reproducibility, and robust metadata to ensure explainability and trusted use of AI-generated outputs.
