Artificial Intelligence for Economic Development

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) is a hub for research on global development, with a network of over 80 academic researchers extending across the University of California, Stanford University, and the University of Washington. Our faculty affiliates use rigorous evaluations, tools from data science, and new measurement technologies to assess the impacts of large-scale social and economic development programs. CEGA brings a scientific lens to global development, integrating empirical economic analysis with expertise in state capacity and public institutions, agriculture, education, engineering, and the environment.

Rapid strides in machine learning have transformed the efficiency of public and private sector organizations alike; however, those working on poverty reduction have struggled to harness these cutting-edge technologies to improve outcomes for the poor. And while these technologies show promise, there are also risks in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in social programs and policies, including algorithmic bias and privacy concerns.
​To address these challenges, CEGA and the World Bank are holding a <A HREF="https://www.measuredev.org" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">one-day workshop</A> to explore the role of machine learning in economic research and public policy. We will examine how AI and related technologies are being applied to a broad array of challenges in global development—from predicting migration patterns and crop yields, to detecting corruption, estimating poverty, and learning about consumers at the base of the economic pyramid.
