Despite its known challenges, including bias, lack of transparency, and issues with data quality, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part and parcel of both programs and evaluations. Frameworks that help identify and mitigate potential harms and set standards for responsible use of AI are an important way for the sector to begin coalescing around a set of expectations for grant applications and program design that include AI components, AI vendors, AI tools, and AI for monitoring, evaluation, research and learning (MERL). At this panel, we’ll share a set of frameworks that can be adapted to different contexts, roles, and stages in the program and MERL life cycles. You’ll leave the session with tools you can adapt for your own work and a clearer understanding of how and when to use them. Click to fill survey.
