The intersection of AI and RTI (policy) evaluation: principles and considerations

Abstract

In May 2023, the Austrian Platform for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation (fteval) established a working group on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in several sub-groups. One gropu collected proprietary AI systems relevant to the evaluation phases and activities, another one screened existing guidelines on the use of AI and adapt them to the fteval community, integrating good practice examples and including input and feedback from the other sub-groups. The document below is one outcome of the working group and intends to provide comprehensive guidance to the fteval community.
