Check out this excellent article by our friend Katie Gibson, who lays out a great argument for why non-profit leaders need to "jump into the (AI policy) fray" and some practical steps of how to do so.

One of the most powerful ways to launch or strengthen your tech stewardship practice is to work through a practice case with other practitioners. We invite you to join us at one of the following free Tech Stewardship for the Energy Transition group practice opportunities on November 7th and the 23rd (see below for links). Thursday, November 7th, 2024 -  [6pm UTC/ 11am PT/ 12pm MT/ 1pmCT/ 2pm ET/ 3pm AT/ 3:30pm NT] - https://bit.ly/4fAZF13 Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 - [5pm UTC/ 10am PT/ 11am MT/ 12pm CT/ 1pm ET/ 2pm AT/ 2:30pm NT] - https://bit.ly/3YCKQUC

One of the most common questions we get is "How can I find opportunities to practice Tech Stewardship in my career?" Join us in partnership with @careercycles this Tuesday, October 29th, at 1 pm ET for a free 60min virtual interactive "Conversations Matter" session to explore this question. https://bit.ly/4hipkgv

We are excited to announce the pilot of a new AI Stewardship Practice Program! The pilot is focused on professionals and grad students who are already actively engaging with artificial intelligence (AI). The experience will be a small cohort engaging in a six-week guided journey to introduce stewardship practice with a focus on AI. A central focus of the program will be appreciating a diverse range of perspectives, which includes those of researchers, entrepreneurs, adopters, creators, educators, policymakers, and advocates. If you’ve already completed our base Tech Stewardship Practice Program (TSPP), this will be an excellent opportunity to deepen your stewardship practice and apply it to AI.  The pilot launches next week and a limited number of spots are still available. So if you’re interested, register today! https://lnkd.in/g5FmKhrC #AIStewardship, #TechStewardship, #AI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #ResponsibleAI, #AIforGood
