Sobre el evento
AI deployment is rapidly outpacing governance and regulation. Athena Infonomics will showcase its AI Evaluation Framework—a structured approach with four pillars: technical accuracy, human-context validation, attributable developmental impact, and red teaming—for evidence-based, responsible deployment of AI for social good. Drawing on a landscape analysis of AI in agriculture and a live case from Andhra Pradesh, the webinar offers evaluation practitioners, AI developers, and programme managers a replicable framework for responsible AI evaluation.
