[Webinar] Who decides if AI output is good?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026 | 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT

Hi Wanto,

As AI becomes more embedded in research workflows, teams are facing a new challenge...how do you evaluate AI output at scale without sacrificing quality, rigor, or trust?

Join DXC and Dscout on Wednesday, July 22nd, for a conversation with leaders from Datadog, The Cigna Group, and TD Bank Group on evaluating AI output at scale.

In this session, they'll cover:

How teams can align on what “good enough” AI output looks like and who owns defining and enforcing quality standards.
What human-in-the-loop evaluation should look like to maintain rigor without creating bottlenecks as AI output scales.
Best practices for building trust and evolving governance frameworks as AI takes on greater autonomy.

How's your AI actually doing?

Hi Wanto,

Research and design teams already know how to ask thoughtful questions, identify patterns, and improve experiences.

So as organizations continue to build and ship AI products, wouldn't it make sense to have the pros conduct the evaluations?

Below, we walk through where human evals enter the equation, how to benchmark and pave the way for ongoing success, and ways to make AI experiences—dare we say—fun.
