  • S2024 Ep1: Talking about... AI and the charitable sector
    Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) had its breakthrough year in 2023. Its development and adoption will continue to accelerate in the months ahead. What, if anything, should charities and non-profits do to keep pace? Dr Clare Mills, Director of Policy and Communications at CFG talks to two social sector experts - Zoe Amar from Zoe Amar Digital, and Rhodri Davies from Why Philanthropy Matters. With a flexible and ethical framework, the right tools and good regulation, we can all embrace AI and benefit, whilst reducing risk... But is it really that simple? Clare asks Zoe and Rhodri whether AI is something to fear, what the opportunities and dangers are, and how it's possible to work together to ensure the charitable sector doesn't get left behind - or worse.
