Duration60 minutes

Drawing on lessons from research and practice, this session presents a practical framework for evaluating AI in government. Participants will leave with a set of principles, methods, and questions for assessing AI effectiveness, measuring public value, monitoring performance over time, and making informed decisions about adoption, scaling, redesign, or retirement.
