Nonprofit Nation with Julia Campbell

AI and the Future of Generosity with Nathan Chappell

Julia Campbell Season 2 Episode 157

It seems like the only thing anyone is talking about is AI - Artificial Intelligence - and the ways in which it is revolutionizing and changing work and impact in all industries, including the nonprofit sector. 

I want to get beyond the hype, and explore the implications for nonprofits, how to use AI not just to further productivity but also to create more impact, and how it might help with the Generosity Crisis. 

Who better to address these issues than Nathan Chappell? Nathan is one of the world’s foremost experts on the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and philanthropy. As the head of AI for DonorSearch, he leads the efforts to bring efficiency at scale through AI for many of the most innovative nonprofits in the US. Nathan presented the first TEDx on the topic of artificial intelligence and the future of generosity in 2018. He’s also the co-author of the award-winning book, The Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity’s Greatest Challenges.

Join me and Nathan for a look into the future of generosity, where AI serves as a catalyst and economic driver for societal change by connecting people with causes that will inspire and trigger an act of generosity

We discuss: 

  • The overall impact of AI to inspire generosity 
  • The responsibilities we have to the ethical deployment and use of AI technology
  • What is currently working, and how even small nonprofits can adapt it for their own programs
  • How to overcome internal skepticism and sell your team on tech
