Dr. Kerry Bruce, ClearUp Consulting

Topic: Using Generative AI in Evaluation Practice

The session will introduce “Using Generative AI in Evaluation Practice,” an upcoming Routledge book edited by Kerry Bruce, Valentine Gandhi, and Steffen Bohni Nielsen. It brings together real-world cases from evaluation professionals experimenting with generative AI across design, data collection, analysis, and reporting. The presentation will highlight how evaluators are using AI to strengthen rigor, inclusion, and stakeholder engagement—while maintaining ethical and locally grounded approaches. The purpose of the session is to be highly interactive, inviting participants to share their feedback and perspectives on the book’s draft content, identify gaps or new case ideas, and help shape how the final volume best serves the evaluation community
