About this session
AI is rapidly changing the face of evidence generation and synthesis: both in how we use and critically assess findings, as well as in the nature and quality of research outputs.
For evidence users – across policy, practice, research and philanthropy – AI offers both promise and perils. And human thinking is still very much needed to judge the difference.
Bringing together experts at the cutting edge of the AI revolution, this webinar offers perspectives on how we can best navigate this new world of evidence, and what knowledge and skills are needed now and into the future.
Panellists:
- Professor Julian Elliott, CEO, Future Evidence Foundation
- Dr Serene Koh Director, Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), Singapore
- Birte Snilstveit, Director of Synthesis and Reviews, 3ie
Facilitator: Professor Aron Shlonsky Director of Data Matters, Monash University
Key ideas to be explored include:
- Practical tips for enabling high-quality AI evidence generation and synthesis
- How can we ensure transparency, critical analysis and human oversight?
- Opening up the "black box" to critically analyse AI evidence systems and outputs
- Examples of evolving AI methods and systems that can generate trustworthy, equitable evidence.
