Resumen
Purpose – The existing literature highlights challenges in measuring social impact within
Social and Solidarity Economy organisations, particularly regarding the Social Return on
Investment (SROI) methodology. This paper aims to address the barriers to SROI
implementation while exploring the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing
the measurement of social impact.
Design/methodology/approach – This review-based paper synthesises research on SROI
methodology limitations and recent AI developments, while focusing on ethical
considerations. Drawing from these domains, the study constructs a conceptual
framework to guide future research.
Findings – The study identifies necessary enhancements to existing AI systems for social
impact measurement and explores how advances in generative AI could refine current
tools and address SROI constraints. It advocates for open AI models to address ethical
concerns.
Originality – This study pioneers the integration of social impact assessment and AI, an
innovative intersection in the academic literature. The growing disparity between
academia and the rapidly evolving AI industry is highlighted and scholarly discourse is
enriched through theoretical deliberations and innovative technological solutions.
