IR&A's Approach to AI
IR&A's role is to support decision-making with accurate data, sound analysis, and appropriate interpretation. While AI tools support our work, they do not replace the professional judgment of our staff.
Our accountability is grounded in three principles:
- We review our work: We evaluate the accuracy, appropriateness, and quality of what we produce.
- We understand our work: We can independently explain the analyses, conclusions, and methods underlying our findings.
- We stand behind our work: We can justify the evidence, reasoning, and choices behind our products.
As the tools we use continue to evolve, these principles will remain constant across all IR&A work.
