AI is the most significant, impactful advance in technology since the printing press. Whatever you feel about it, it's important to understand it so you can decide how best to use it.
Michael DeChellis brings the essentials to us in our November and December sessions with training tailored specifically to Park County nonprofits.
Join us for two Nonprofit ACTion sessions focused on giving you the information and hands-on experience you need to understand the fundamentals of this powerful technology.
Part 1: Practical Promise
Thursday, November 19, 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
PCCF Office at 104 S. Main, Livingston, MT 59047
Together we’ll explore the practical near-term promise implied by these new tools and share practical ways they are being useful now. This session will cover:
Baseline - what do we mean by AI and how well do we know it?
Principles - suggested DO’s and DON’T’s on AI use in your work, with reasoning.
Demos and Sharing - an opportunity to choose your own adventure - with options for:
Concrete examples of nonprofit and small organization use of AI to serve the mission (the room will have a few to choose from)
An open-room call to share with fellow nonprofits what you’re doing to impact your mission with AI
An opportunity to voice aspirational ideas and hopes and get feedback
