Full story

A team of researchers has developed the 'Grip on LLMs' framework, a systematic evaluation suite for large language models in Dutch governmental use. This framework was created in collaboration with domain experts from a major Dutch municipal organisation. The researchers identified six key evaluation dimensions: factuality, honesty, social bias, energy efficiency, transparency, and accountability. These dimensions aim to address the unique needs of public administration and non-English language contexts. The framework was developed through an advisory board process, user research, and a survey of civil-servant chatbot users. This new framework is expected to improve the evaluation and deployment of AI in Dutch government settings.
