Check out this #article from Felecia Webb on the human-centered approach to philanthropy in the age of AI.? The philanthropic sector is transitioning to a more collaborative and community-focused strategy, driven by the need to tackle deep-seated issues of inequality and injustice. This opens the door for the use of AI technologies that are inclusive, ethical, and designed to empower marginalized communities and promote fairness and justice. Webb envisions a new model of philanthropy that looks to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably.? “Change with AI is inevitable, and this change requires a fundamental shift in how we think about and engage with technology in the philanthropic sector.” To read the rest of the article, visit the link here: https://lnkd.in/gu5mFP4n?
