AI is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful productivity tools available to nonprofit organisations — but many are still unsure how to use it effectively, safely and in a way that aligns with their values. In this practical workshop, digital strategist Alecia Hancock will demystify AI and explain what it is, how it works, and why it matters for the sector.
