💡 Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Social Impact Towards Civic Engagement 💡 At just about two years since the launch of ChatGPT 3.5, AI has firmly moved beyond being a passing trend. As 2024 draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on a question that resonates deeply: What makes the current era of generative AI so different from past technological revolutions? Generative AI, unlike any technology before, simulates human intelligence, presenting unparalleled opportunities—and challenges. Geoffrey Hinton compares this moment to the Industrial Revolution, underscoring its transformative potential. But what does this mean for social impact organizations? From my work as an Emerging Technology Fellow with Community Foundations of Canada | Fondations communautaires du Canada, I see a pressing need for these organizations to not only adapt to AI but also shape its trajectory. By fostering civic engagement and AI literacy, we can close digital skill gaps and ensure communities actively influence AI’s development and use. 🚀 In the article, I delve into: - Why generative AI requires a unique response from social impact sectors. - How AI-driven frameworks can empower communities to address societal challenges such as healthcare, education, and economic resilience. - The AI Realization Loop, a pathway I envision for empowering communities through collaborative AI education. The geopolitical stakes of AI also loom large, as the U.S. and China vie for dominance. But this global competition underscores the importance of democratizing AI knowledge and ensuring its benefits reach everyone, especially marginalized communities. As we approach 2025, I call on social impact leaders to engage actively in shaping AI—not just as users, but as stewards of its future. Together, we can ensure AI becomes a tool for collective progress rather than a driver of inequity. Let’s start a conversation: What role do you see AI playing in civic engagement and social impact? How can we, as a community, navigate this era of unprecedented change?
