This panel will examine the use of artificial intelligence in social welfare delivery and its implications for accuracy, fairness, and accountability. It will explore risks linked to automated decision making, the importance of human oversight, and ways to reduce unintended negative outcomes to beneficiaries. The discussion will focus on monitoring and evaluation approaches that help governments assess impact, costs, and outcomes, and identify safeguards to ensure transparent, equitable, and effective welfare programmes.
