The Ciutat de Castelló Chair of the Universitat Jaume I has started the series of lectures "Ciutat de Castelló 2020" with the webinar "Big data and economy: promises, dangers and disappointments" by José García Montalvo, Professor of Economics at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Rey Jaime I Prize in Economics.

Professor García Montalvo focused his presentation on the enormous potential of the use of big data and artificial intelligence today and stressed that, although the capacity of the algorithms fed by a huge amount of data has improved the predictive capacity of human behavior at both a social and economic level, and therefore of decision making under uncertainty, machines continue to be complementary but not substitutes for people. As for the economic field, he has pointed out that these techniques have contributed significantly to the prosecution of tax fraud, yet "the culture of using big data for the evaluation of public policies is still very scarce".
