Researchers, data specialists and professionals working in artificial intelligence and survey research have one day remaining to submit their work for the upcoming conference, “Better Data for Better Lives: Innovations in Survey Measurement in the Age of AI.”

The event is scheduled for December 8–9, 2026, and will focus on innovations in survey measurement and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in producing reliable, useful and high-quality data.

The submission deadline is October 15, 2026. Interested participants are invited to submit an abstract of up to 800 words or a full draft through the online submission form.

AI Is Reshaping Survey Research

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities to improve how surveys are designed, conducted and analysed. Researchers are exploring how AI-powered tools can support questionnaire development, automate selected research tasks, improve data processing and identify patterns in complex datasets.

These technologies could help make survey research more efficient while enabling researchers to examine information in greater depth. However, ensuring the accuracy, reliability and representativeness of collected data remains essential.

Researchers must also consider privacy protection, algorithmic bias, transparency and the risk of introducing errors when using AI systems in survey-related activities.

Focus on Better Data and Measurement

The conference theme highlights the importance of developing innovative measurement approaches that can support better decisions across public policy, social research and economic development.

Potential areas of interest include AI-assisted survey design, new approaches to collecting responses, data quality assessment, measurement reliability and ethical challenges associated with automated research methods.

The integration of AI into survey measurement also raises questions about how researchers can validate results and preserve methodological standards as new technologies become more widely adopted.
