Will AI Be a Force Multiplier for the Social Sector?
Artificial intelligence is a top-of-mind topic not just for leaders in philanthropy and the nonprofit sectors, but across all of society. As nonprofit and social impact organizations explore how AI tools might help them further their mission, many are wondering: What are the risks? Can the field scale up AI adoption without creating deeper societal inequities? In this episode, Barbara Wheeler-Bride talks with Jacqueline Watts of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation about how the foundation funds AI for social good. The conversation includes takeaways for donors, funders, nonprofit leaders and their teams who are grappling with questions about how or whether to use artificial intelligence.
