This session explores the nuances of Responsible and Beneficial AI, highlighting the importance of privacy, accountability, and equity in AI governance. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how the nonprofit sector can set the standard for ethical AI practices, ensuring that these technologies serve as catalysts for societal progress and trust.
