About the event
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into evaluation practice, much of the focus has been on improving efficiency, speed, and scale. However, evaluation is not only a technical process—it is fundamentally human, requiring contextual understanding, ethical judgment, and meaningful engagement with communities.
This session explores the limits of AI in evaluation by asking a critical question: What aspects of evaluation cannot—and should not—be automated?
Positioned as a counterpoint to AI-focused efficiency discussions, this panel will bring together diverse stakeholders from across the evaluation ecosystem to reflect on where human judgment remains essential for maintaining credibility, trust, and ethical integrity.
