One of the biggest challenges is understanding AI technology, where it can be used and how to use it. For nonprofits, it’s all well and good that the latest AI solutions can recognise objects from video, create artwork and predict traffic patterns, but understanding where to use it in their organisation is a far cry from a lot of what is happening in the market. AI is not remotely at a level where you can explain a problem to it and it will figure out the solution – the technology is still quite specific in its application and requires human intelligence to decide which specific model (or combination of models) to apply. In this webinar, we will address what AI is and suggestions on where AI can benefit nonprofits based on some of the common challenges nonprofits have today. What is not included in the program? Highly technical explanations of what AI is. Course Outcomes: By the end of this webinar your organisation will have: An overview of what AI is about Greater knowledge about the different types of problems AI can help you solve Tips on current opportunities and getting started with AI.
