在数据匮乏的地方扩大社会援助：新数据和人工智能的机遇和局限2024

The report, "Scaling up social assistance where data is scarce: Opportunities and limits of novel data and AI," examines the use of cash transfers as a means of protecting livelihoods during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors, Yuko Okamura, Tim Ohlenburg, and Emil Tesliuc, find that while cash transfers can be an effective tool for providing assistance, they face challenges in areas with limited data availability. The report highlights the opportunities and limitations of using novel data and AI to address these challenges. The authors also note that the findings and conclusions of the report do not necessarily reflect the views of The World Bank, its Board of Executive Directors, or the governments they represent.
