SurveyCTO Webinar Series:  Principle-driven Innovation - AI@SurveyCTO

In this webinar, founder of Dobility, Dr. Christopher Robert, and current President and CEO, Lawrence Li, take you behind the scenes to explore our user-centered and principle-driven AI roadmap. Starting from the early days of machine learning at SurveyCTO and discussing the impact of GenAI on survey research, the conversation includes the SurveyCTO AI Assistant—and the evaluation framework for survey research AI that came out of that process.

At SurveyCTO, improving data quality is a guiding principle. That’s why we’re constantly innovating new ways to help you collect your best data ever. Our work with AI is no different. In collaboration with our partners at Higher Bar AI (HBAI), we strive to leverage exciting advances in AI technology in order to create tools that support better-quality data collection. HBAI is a public benefit corporation and endeavor of SurveyCTO founder Dr. Christopher Robert that creates Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to scale best-in-class data collection work and custom solutions that accelerate quantitative and qualitative empirical research methods.

Dobility, the company that powers SurveyCTO, has been pioneering the use of innovative technology in survey research for a long time. We’ve done this by building automated quality checks into the SurveyCTO platform, and by working on a machine learning for quality control roadmap that helped inform the development of our review and corrections workflow and device sensor meta-data functionality. Long before anyone had heard of ChatGPT, we have been looking at ways to create AI-based survey tools that would truly improve data quality for users, all while respecting our high standards and staying true to our core guiding principles, which include data security and data quality. The release of the SurveyCTO AI Assistant chatbot to our main website in the summer of 2024 was one major step along our AI roadmap. With the Assistant, users can now get direct help with learning the platform, designing forms, or managing their SurveyCTO accounts. But there’s much more to come from AI at SurveyCTO. This month, our new AI tools, designed to further enhance data quality by reviewing forms, coding expressions, and offering suggestions to improve your survey questions, are available for a public beta.
