The recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing professional practices across various professional fields, including evaluation. With its advanced automation and learning capabilities, AI is bringing significant changing to the way organizations and societies function. Evaluation is no exception to this trend, even though evaluators are adopting AI at a slower pace. This article examines ongoing applications that already improve and enhance the evaluation practice. We advance our discussion by exploring the potential impact of AI on the policy cycle. Subsequently, we analyze the potential incorporation of evaluation into autonomous artificial intelligence systems that could design, implement and evaluate public policies with minimal to no human supervision.
