AI is rapidly evolving and its use in the nonprofit sector presents concerns, challenges and opportunities. As part of their 'Consulting with NGOs' module run by Kathleen O'Reilly, a team of UCD students were teamed up with Carmichael to address these questions.
The students conducted research to assess both the current applications of AI in nonprofit organizations and the potential opportunities for its integration.
This document is an overview of their work and summarises their findings on AI usage in the sector, ethical considerations and barriers, guidelines for using prompts and key recommendations for using AI.
The background literature review which gives further context to this summary document will be released in the coming months.
Thank you to Giovanni Morandi, Vivian Li, Colin Cunningham, Nathan Souillard, Sorcha Love & Gavin Maggio for this useful piece of work.
