Bottom line: LLMs can be powerful tools for research with the necessary guardrails. But if those guardrails can't be placed, LLMs should not be used.
Double bottom line: applying these same guardrails for benchmarking analysis and building AI tools support more responsible, accurate models.

2️⃣ Researchers should only use open-source AI-models with transparent training data
3️⃣ Researchers must validate AI-generated outputs by comparing them to outputs from established methods on a small sample and appropriately correct for errors.

@j-pal.bsky.social's explainer video brings to light evidence that information frictions effect where families with Section 8 vouchers choose to live - and a lasting tech-powered path to removing barriers about school quality across neighborhoods.
