“AI is a powerful tool. Like money, it can be used for great things or be the source of greed and pain. One big difference though is that money doesn’t think for itself, and AI does. That’s why it’s imperative to make sure AI is offering strategies, suggestions, and ideas and that at the end of the day, it is a human being making the decisions about the ways in which they’re implemented. There is nowhere this is more important than in the world of nonprofits, where doing good, having authenticity, and transparency matter every step of the way. Or to put it succinctly, “Stay Human!”
