Principle-Guided Approaches to AI

Where: SFU, the Segal Building | 500 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC
Workshop Overview
Every year the CESBC Conference Committee offers a pre-conference workshop to enhance the knowledge and practice of the evaluation community. We are excited to announce this year’s interactive workshop will be facilitated by Carolyn Hoessler, PhD, CE, on Principle-guided Approaches to AI!
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.
