As artificial intelligence reaches further into professional life, the dynamics of work are evolving. Which AI tools can streamline workflows, what ethical dilemmas arise in using AI, and how can professionals wade in responsibly?
WEBINAR
June 12, 2025
1-3 PM (central U.S.)
On June 12, the Evaluation Association of St. Louis (EASL) and the Data for Social Impact (DSI) initiative of the Center for Social Development hosted an interactive session with Brad Krueger, who offered a candid, hands-on introduction to AI tools for social-sector professionals, evaluators, and researchers. Krueger explored what today’s AI tools can do, from summarizing data to generating visuals, and which tools fall short. The event also featured discussion of ethical considerations, including data privacy and transparency, and of how to avoid common missteps.
Participants came away with a better understanding of how to integrate AI tools into workflows without compromising on values, and took a tool or two for a spin (no tech background required). Whether you’re optimistic, skeptical, or just curious, this event can help you move from questions to practical insights.
