About the Event
How can AI move project evaluations from "hindsight" to "foresight"? This session presents a practical case study from the Oporajita project in Bangladesh, highlighting the use of AI to pre-select intervention sites and rapidly prototype collective business models. We explore how AI-driven prototyping allows teams to test enterprise ideas and viability before full-scale implementation. Attendees will learn practical ways to integrate AI into MERL workflows to increase precision, reduce costs, and ensure human-centric design remains at the heart of digital innovation.
