Global Evaluation Initiative 5d ago

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in research, monitoring, and evaluation, evaluators and development practitioners are confronted with new ethical questions. While AI promises efficiency, scale, and new analytical possibilities, it also raises concerns around bias, accountability, data governance, and the erosion of human judgement. This roundtable brings together voices across the ecosystem—NGOs, researchers, technology partners, youth representatives, and donor agencies—to reflect on a central question: Has AI enhanced ethical evaluation practice, or has it complicated it? This session was hosted by I’M Every Woman (Durga India), as part of Glocal Evaluation Week 2026.
