“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” How do you translate that magic into results? This course will provide considerations to inform an AI strategy and a candid tour of how AI can be used in nonprofit activities and operations. You'll learn about AI tools and features that are available and how to get useful outcomes. You'll leave with a better understanding of what questions to ask your vendors and how you can keep your organization ahead of the curve.
