ADB Evaluation 10d ago

As evaluators increasingly rely on AI platforms such as ADB’s EVA, UNDP’s AIDA, and OpenEval to meet demands for speed and scale, questions of credibility, rigor, and trust have become more pressing than ever. Drawing on real organizational experiences, this panel examines how institutions can harness AI’s efficiencies without eroding human judgment, ethical standards, and the foundations of credible evaluation.
