Enhancing Program Performance Evaluation through Artificial Intelligence: A Mixed-methods Study Using LLM Models

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to explore how Artificial Intelligence can enhance the effectiveness of program performance evaluations. By leveraging data-driven techniques, the research aims to identify methods that facilitate more accurate assessments of program outcomes using LLM models, thereby enhancing decision-making processes. The study adopts a mixed-methods design, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess the impact of Artificial Intelligence on program performance evaluation. The research was conducted over twelve months, enabling a detailed analysis of both the immediate and long-term impacts of Artificial Intelligence interventions on program management. The methodology employed in this study is structured around a comprehensive approach to data collection and analysis, ensuring robust insights into program performance evaluations. Qualitative research was conducted to identify relevant metrics for assessment. The qualitative component encompasses in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, providing insights into the contextual factors that influence analytics deployment. Concurrently, the quantitative analysis employs statistical methodologies to evaluate performance metrics both before and after the implementation of AI-driven methodologies. The study's findings highlight the critical role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing program performance evaluation. Detailed data analysis revealed that employing Artificial Intelligence facilitates the extraction of real-time insights, which significantly assist in strategic decision-making. Programs that integrated advanced Artificial Intelligence and data analytics tools showed improved capability in identifying trends, directly impacting their effectiveness and adaptability. The study concludes that Artificial Intelligence and data analytics enhance program performance evaluations. By providing dynamic, real-time insights and risk assessments, the utilization of Artificial Intelligence and data analytics significantly improves decision-making processes and aids in strategic planning. It emphasizes the importance of robust data quality and governance practices that ensure the accuracy and reliability of evaluations.
