AI is already in your evaluation workflow. Tomorrow's webinar shows you where.
A practitioner conversation on what AI has actually changed in reporting, analysis, and synthesis — and what it shouldn't touch. (2 June, 2 PM IST)
Inside the AI-Augmented Evaluation Workflow: How AI Is Changing Everyday Evaluation Practice
By the time you finish reading this, an AI tool somewhere has already summarised a set of interviews, cleaned a dataset, drafted a report section, or pulled themes from open-ended responses.
AI has moved from a future-facing idea to a quiet part of everyday work — in healthcare, finance, education, research. Evaluation is no exception. Yet most conversations about it in our sector still sit at the level of theory and tool demos, rarely touching what the shift looks like inside actual evaluation work.
That gap is what tomorrow’s session is about.
The question we’re asking: not which tools exist, but what does AI actually look like inside real evaluation work — and what should it not touch?
Our team will draw on their everyday work across reporting, analysis, evidence synthesis, and evaluation design to share grounded reflections: where AI has genuinely helped, where it has introduced risk, and why context, judgment, and interpretation still sit with the evaluator.
What we'll cover:
Where AI is being integrated across stages of an evaluation — and where it isn’t
What has actually improved: speed, synthesis, first-draft efficiency
How the work was done before, versus how it’s shifting now
Concrete examples from reporting, analysis, tool development, and evidence synthesis
Where caution is needed, and what evaluators should be careful not to automate
Who this is for: MEL practitioners and evaluators, researchers and consultants, NGO and CSR teams, programme implementation staff, data and learning professionals — and anyone watching how AI is reshaping evidence systems.
This session opens our gLOCAL Evaluation Week 2026 series, Evaluation, Evidence, and Trust in the Age of AI — three webinars in all. You can explore the full line-up here: https://www.the4thwheel.com/event-list
