?? Temelio's weekly read! Philanthropy has the power to create lasting change, but that impact grows exponentially when funders focus on shifting systems rather than addressing symptoms alone. This recent Stanford Social Innovation Review article highlights how strategic investments in systems change can unlock deeper, more sustainable outcomes. This is a powerful reminder for foundations looking to maximize their influence to think beyond individual grants and consider the broader structures that shape social challenges.

AI systems built without women's voices miss half the world and actively distort reality for everyone. On International Women's Day - and every day - this truth demands our attention. After more than two decades working at the intersection of technological innovation and human rights, I've observed a consistent pattern: systems designed without inclusive input inevitably encode the inequalities of the world we have today, incorporating biases in data, algorithms, and even policy. Building technology that works requires our shared participation as the foundation of effective innovation. The data is sobering: women represent only 30% of the AI workforce and a mere 12% of AI research and development positions according to UNESCO's Gender and AI Outlook. This absence shapes the technology itself. And a UNESCO study on Large Language Models (LLMs) found persistent gender biases - where female names were disproportionately linked to domestic roles, while male names were associated with leadership and executive careers. UNESCO's @women4EthicalAI initiative, led by the visionary and inspiring Gabriela Ramos and Dr. Alessandra Sala, is fighting this pattern by developing frameworks for non-discriminatory AI and pushing for gender equity in technology leadership. Their work extends the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, a powerful global standard centering human rights in AI governance. Today's decision is whether AI will transform our world into one that replicates today's inequities or helps us build something better. Examine your AI teams and processes today. Where are the gaps in representation affecting your outcomes? Document these blind spots, set measurable inclusion targets, and build accountability systems that outlast good intentions. The technology we create reflects who creates it - and gives us a path to a better world. #InternationalWomensDay #AI #GenderBias #EthicalAI #WomenInAI #UNESCO #ArtificialIntelligence The Patrick J.

Last week I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Chantal Forster, former executive director at the Technology Association of Grantmakers and current AI strategy resident at the Annenberg Foundation, to talk about the ways in which AI is shaping the philanthropic sector. In this conversation, two primary themes emerged: 1?? The ways in which AI can streamline the grantmaking process and give grantmakers and grantees more time for mission-critical work, and 2?? How AI can unlock the long-discussed dream of collective impact through data sharing We also had the chance to discuss the ethical, security, and data concerns around AI and the importance of approaching AI with both curiosity and intentionality. You can listen to our full conversation in the link below. A big thank you to Chantal for your time and the work you do to move the sector forward! #philanthropy #AI #nonprofittech

?? Temelio's weekly read! AI is reshaping philanthropy, are we ready? The rise of AI presents both incredible opportunities and real risks for the social sector. While it can drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and expand impact, it also raises serious concerns about bias, transparency, and accessibility. The philanthropic community cannot afford to be passive in this transformation. We must lead the conversation, advocate for ethical use, and ensure AI serves the greater good—not just those with the most resources. This new piece from Philanthropy New York written by Rachel Kimber, MPA, MS explores why funders need to engage now to build an AI-powered future that aligns with equity and justice.
