122: Will artificial intelligence revolutionise charity work?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already long impacted our lives, but recent developments in the technology have created a frenzy around its possibilities and risks. While some are excited about saving time and money with new AI technologies, others are sceptical and would much rather proceed with caution. The most common ways AI is used in 2023 are to respond to people via text or email, answer financial questions, plan a travel itinerary, craft an email, prepare for a job interview, write a social media post, and summarise complex or lengthy copy. We want to know how charity professionals think these, and other, uses will impact upon the crucial work of charities.  In this episode, Charity Digital Content Writer Laura Stanley (she/her) speaks to CEO Jonathan Chevallier (he/him),  Transformation Manager Kiki Tetley (they/them), and Content Editor Ioan Marc Jones (he/him) to learn more about the different perspectives of AI in the charity sector, how it’s already impacting the ways we are working, and how it could impact charity work in the future.  Resources CDDO – Transforming for a digital future: 2022 to 2025 roadmap for digital and data Gov.UK – National AI Strategy The White House – Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights NIST – AI Risk Management Framework Update on He Jiankui, the scientist who used AI to edit genes: The Guardian – Scientist who edited babies’ genes says he acted ‘too quickly’
