Silva Ferretti, Freelance Consultant will facilitate a workshop hosted by the EES that acknowledges many types of AI but focuses on generative, conversational models (like ChatGPT, Claude, and others). She will explore their role as “working companions” in evaluation. By highlighting creative applications, she will show how AI can innovate and enhance evaluation rather than constrain it.

Participants will explore diverse use cases and have space for collaborative exploration and discussion. To view full details online click here.

This interactive workshop hosted by the EES and facilitated by Linda Raftree and Zach Tilton builds on the EES’s Sparking Discussion on AI in Evaluation Practice that took place on November 4.

We will begin with an engaging discussion on AI in our personal lives and our work followed by a more in-depth overview of Gen AI in Evaluation landscape, including examples of different use cases. Following that, participants will work in teams to develop shared principles for using GenAI in evaluation processes. Then we’ll take a closer look at a few easily accessible GenAI tools and how they could be applied to evaluation tasks. We’ll practice prompt engineering and we’ll build a custom GPT. Throughout the workshop, we’ll create space for discussion and experience sharing among participants to both ask questions and share how they are using different kinds of AI tools and approaches in their own work.

Participants will leave the session with a better understanding of AI and GenAI overall, hands-on experience with some GenAI tools for research and evaluation, and an overarching set of questions and orientation for assessing if and when to use GenAI in their own work.

Fees: €180 Members and €230 Non-Members
