About the Event
This session presents a field experiment from an evaluation in which AI-assisted and traditional qualitative interviews are compared. It also showcases complementary innovations: an AI social media listening tool developed by UNICEF’s SBC team and an AI-based equity analysis tool from India. Together, these applications illustrate how AI can expand data sources, deepen insights, and support more adaptive, inclusive evaluation practice.
