Effective, Ethical Generative AI in Fundraising

Nonprofits often experience conflict over AI implementation: enthusiasts want to supercharge their mission, and skeptics worry AI will undermine it. How can teams with this tension work together to identify safer AI practices, develop policies that protect their values, and leverage AI to expand their mission? What risks are present in fundraising, and what risk-mitigating techniques are important for fundraisers to know? How do you identify tasks where AI can serve as an assistant, a delegate, a coach, or an adversary?

Karen will explain AI for nontechnical audiences and apply best practices for ethical, effective generative AI use for a fundraising audience. Sarah will use her decades of experience leading large, diverse, mission-driven teams to explain how to implement generative AI in a cooperative, safer, and mission-aligned way.
