How Do We Know AI Works?

Lessons from Real Evaluations

A working session on evaluating AI systems. You will use a live AI advisor, find where it fails, turn those failures into tests, and fix them in the room.

Organized by APHRC and The Agency Fund.

What we will do

  1. 01

    Break it

    Ask the advisor questions from your own work. Read the answer and its sources, then rate it.

  2. 02

    Write the ideal answer

    Mark a bad reply and say what it should have said instead. That is the eval case.

  3. 03

    Fix it live

    We graduate the best cases into permanent tests, edit the knowledge base on stage, and rerun them.

  4. 04

    Compare two models

    Conversations are split 50/50 between two models. Your ratings feed a live A/B test with a real power analysis.

Who it is for

Anyone building, funding, researching, or governing an AI system that people rely on. No evaluation experience needed. Bring one hard question from your own domain.
