AIDA – Artificial Intelligence for Development Analytics
NA-Online
About the Event
AIDA or Artificial Intelligence for Development Analytics is the latest initiative from the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to improve the use of evaluative evidence for enhanced decision making.
AIDA uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for extracting evidence from UNDP evaluations, providing quick and easy access to the digital treasure trove of evidence from over 6000 evaluations stored in UNDP Evaluation Resource Centre, dating back to 2002.
The webinar walks participants through the development process, provides insight into its technical architecture and includes a demonstration of AIDA’s web portal to showcase its capabilities and use.
