SESSION DESCRIPTION

This workshop helps nonprofits move from awareness of AI toward practical application. Building on introductory AI concepts, the session emphasized applied practice, real-world use cases, and responsible implementation. Through nonprofit-specific examples, a live demonstration, and hands-on prompting practice, participants explored how AI can support their work while mitigating risks related to bias and misinformation.

The session also shared practical tools, frameworks, and ethical checklists to help organizations begin shaping their own AI policies. Participants left with increased confidence in identifying where AI tools can be most useful and how to approach them responsibly, ethically, and in alignment with organizational values. This session featured a 60-minute presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
