AI is everywhere right now. 50% of nonprofits self-report already using some form of AI to increase their efficiencies. Join Hajj Flemings, CEO of Rebrand Cities, and Sara Gibbons, Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft as they review case studies in how other small businesses and nonprofits are using AI to advance their missions, how you can effectively use AI no matter your organization’s budget, and ethical considerations. This session will also include a breakout group activity to explore some popular AI tools nonprofits are using now to create content and fundraise. Please note: You must bring something to open a browser to this session (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
