Great to attend #WEF2025 Annual Meetings in Davos & speak on "How Can AI Help Society." There is huge potential for AI to transform development, but @JPAL research has also shown how hard technology adoption is. I provide a framework in @SSIReview -

Thrilled to help launch this partnership between @the_IDB and @JPAL to expand evidence informed policy in #LAC. Thanks much to @igoldfajn and @anamibanez for your leadership and vision; and to @paulagpedro and @mboschIDB for the detailed planning to make it happen.
Evidence underpins development projects that successfully lower poverty and inequality, foster growth and address climate change in #LAC. We are thrilled to announce our new visiting researcher program with @JPAL and look forward to insights that lead to positive change in #LAC

Thank you @JPAL and J-PALers for an incredible 15 years! When I was hired to do Cost Effectiveness Analysis of a few research papers, I never imagined this journey would last this long and take so many exciting paths, but it has. And every day (not just month or year) working with all our partners is as fun and uncharted as my first back in 2009 - so very grateful for that and the lovely celebration🙏
🎉 Congrats to our Global Executive Director, @iqbaldhali, on 15 incredible years at J-PAL! Our Co-Directors Esther Duflo, Abhijit Banerjee, and @Ben_Olken dropped by yesterday to help us celebrate this milestone with plenty of fun stories (and of course, cake). We're grateful for Iqbal's leadership, vision, and endless optimism.
