H∞P Challenge Lab: Social Impact & M&E

Use AI in social research and M&E without flattening field reality, erasing affected people, or weakening methodological accountability.

Audience

M&E practitioners, social impact researchers, development sector consultants.

Problem

AI can make social evidence look cleaner while making it less accountable: summaries get smoothed, rhythm disappears, and community risk is translated into dashboard confidence.

Outcome

Participants learn how to preserve methodological integrity, test outputs from the affected-person perspective, and design review points that keep social reality inside the system.

This is for you if...

  • Your team uses AI to summarise interviews, code qualitative data, draft reports, or analyse grievance material.
  • You need funder-facing efficiency without losing community-facing accountability.
  • You want a practical method for reviewing AI outputs before they become institutional truth.

By the end, participants can...

  • Recognise when AI has polished away uncertainty, dissent, or field context.
  • Use the Victim Register to red-team reports from the downstream harm position.
  • Build audit trails for AI-assisted research, synthesis, and reporting.
  • Decide where AI may assist, where humans must re-enter, and where refusal is required.
