MacKay Wolff has joined a small professional group that is advising donor governments and non-governmental organizations on the use of AI in the monitoring and evaluation of humanitarian projects. His career with the U.N., from which he's retired, did M&E as an analog process; the incorporation of artificial intelligence promises both a reimagining of the elements of emergency program design and the metrics of progress within it. The endeavor is especially interesting because these are early days for the aid industry in adopting this tech and, consequently, for giving the group some influence in the emergence of a standard platform.
