This foundational course equips nonprofits with the essential knowledge they need to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) responsibly and effectively, with a particular focus on Generative AI (GenAI). Participants will develop a solid understanding of GenAI, key concepts in AI ethics, and relevant governance frameworks. By the end of the short course, they will be able to identify and evaluate opportunities, use cases, and potential risks associated with AI adoption. Through practical guidance, they will establish an internal ethical and governance framework, and master foundational prompting techniques. This course empowers nonprofits to begin harnessing AI’s potential in their work in a responsible and impactful way. This course is developed by PoliSync in collaboration with Globethics, Caux Initiatives of Change, and ICVA, and made possible as a non-profit initiative by Microsoft Elevate.
