Panel on Panel: Human, Synthetic, and the Quest for Quality Data
In today’s AI-driven world, the research community remains divided on the use of synthetic data in surveys. While some see it as the promising future of surveys, others view it as a methodological heresy. Whether you’re using synthetic data, traditional panels, or a combination of both, maintaining data quality in the age of AI is the challenge every researcher faces. How do we combat bots that infiltrate human panels, filter responses that sound plausible but miss the mark, and eliminate fraudsters who manipulate systems and pollute survey data? Let’s take this discussion offline!
Join us for a panel discussion on the opportunities and risks of synthetic data, and the quality control crisis affecting survey collection as fraud becomes more sophisticated. Whether you are exploring synthetic approaches, building hybrid solutions, or sticking with human samples, this session will provide practical strategies for protecting data quality in an AI-saturated landscape.
