Join us to demystify what artificial intelligence (AI) means for the not-for-profit (NFP) sector, focusing on what AI is, how it works and its practical benefits and challenges.

The session will address common concerns, ethical considerations and the importance of human oversight. We’ll also explore guidance on how to choose and use AI tools responsibly, with a strong emphasis on practicality, how to write effective prompts and the unique needs of different roles within NFPs.

In this session we’ll aim to build your digital literacy, confidence and a critical understanding of how AI can enhance impact while maintaining ethical standards.
