When I started my journey with AI and data product management, I wished there was an organized path to learn the needed materials for a PM in the field. this was the leading thought that pushed Erez Shilon and myself to create the #AI4PMs course back in 2022. Thank you Give & Tech, מוצרלה | Mozzarella, Ron Weiner and especially Keren Katz and Or Hay for making the 2nd, improved version of it come to life. I am proud to be a part of this initiative that helps seasoned PM's with their professional growth. but more importantly, makes an actual impact in the world💪 #social #donation #data #machinelearning #impact #ai

I admittedly struggle with articles like this, but it's important to consider why. Yes, the speed of AI poses real danger to nonprofits and society at large. Yes, we do need to keep "humans in the loop", as the author concludes. But the sweeping influence of AI is not an existential option for nonprofits. We won't get to choose whether we dive into the world of AI or we don't. So the path forward is not rueing the loss of philanthropy of old, but harnessing new opportunities for technology to make a meaningful difference in organizations. "We're not going back," as they say. And why should we? The nonprofit sector continues to grow. Giving is at record highs. Impact is increasingly easy to measure and demonstrate. Bring on the future, wisely! https://lnkd.in/gdePeGmN

When most people think of #AI, images of #SiliconValley come to mind. What many don’t think about though, is the profound impact AI can have on helping #nonprofits, including #universities, achieve their missions. To help amplify AI's impact even further, adding a human in the loop can be an effective way to help nonprofits not only remove hallucinations but also to constantly improve AI’s ability to achieve our desired outcomes. AI is not destined to remove humans from the equation, but to provide us with additional superpowers to do what we do best-- to care for one another.

It's time to wake up if you're not dedicating time each month to AI! Prove us wrong. 💡 In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, any charity that isn’t actively carving out time every single month to enhance their understanding and skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is, frankly, asleep on the job. 😴 Sounds harsh? Let’s talk about it. Remember the mid-2000s, when the internet was booming, and yet, some organisations brushed it off as a fad? Fast forward to today, and it’s clear that those who ignored the digital wave have had to play a long, hard game of catch-up. We’re at a similar crossroads with AI. 🚀 It's not just about futuristic robots or complex algorithms; it’s about leveraging technology to make smarter decisions, streamline operations, and ultimately, maximise the impact of charitable work. AI can transform how charities operate, from automating administrative tasks 📊, personalising donor communications 💌, to predicting fundraising trends 🔮. It’s about doing more with less, being more efficient, and connecting with supporters in ways we could only imagine a few years ago. Not investing time to understand AI is akin to saying you’re okay with falling behind, okay with not harnessing the full potential of your charity. It’s a bold statement, we know. But the truth is, embracing AI is no longer optional for those looking to lead in the charity sector. It’s an essential part of staying relevant, efficient, and impactful. So, here’s our challenge to you: If you believe dedicating time to AI isn’t worth it for charities, prove us wrong! 💬 We’re here for the debate and genuinely interested in different perspectives. But one thing is for certain—the future of charity work is digital, and AI is a huge part of that future. Don’t let your charity get left behind. #CharityTech #AIForGood #NonProfitInnovation #DigitalTransformation #TechForCharity #FutureOfFundraising #InnovationInCharity

In a world where hope can sometimes wane, Nonprofits strive through joy and pain. AI steps in with a gentle grace, To help their missions find their place.

In every cause, in every quest, AI supports them at their best. And as you read this rhyming cheer, Know AI wrote these lines right here!

In a recent poll, many of you selected "Education" as an ideal primary issue of philanthropic focus in an AI-driven world. George Mason University professor of economics Tyler Cowen suggests several areas in philanthropy that will likely experience high returns from the rise of AI. One of these is the matter of increasing AI adoption in developing countries. For example, poorer countries could benefit significantly from AI-provided translation, legal, or diagnostic services in schools, municipal offices, or healthcare offices. AI will also enable more individuals, or small groups of individuals, to run highly ambitious projects in the service of philanthropic outcomes, he argues. "The productivity of small groups of people who are very good at directing AIs will go up by an order of magnitude," he writes in Bloomberg. Check out the article to read more about areas of philanthropy that AI will likely help advance: https://lnkd.in/gCq8eqb2 AI and other forms of digital transformation will doubtless play a huge role in policymaking over the next century. Our upcoming programme "Robust Policy Design in Times of Crisis" aims to equip leaders and decision-makers with the skills and frameworks they need to create effective, resilient policies during periods of uncertainty and disruption. We'd love to walk this new world with you: https://lnkd.in/g3C8fvMY
