Workshop Details

Artificial Intelligence (AI) challenges us as evaluators to balance expediency and relational quality with implications for data privacy, reputations, trust and costs. The possibilities for AI are endless, but so are questions about its effectiveness, accuracy, bias, data storage and more. This session will provide those new to and familiar with AI with a framework for understanding its capabilities, and tangible approaches evaluators can employ to identify and apply guiding principles for using AI in our own contexts and projects. The second half of the workshop will focus on triaging risk, reviewing data agreements, selecting tools, using prompts and revising AI content to meet our needs as evaluators with hands-on practice throughout.
