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 2: Practical Perils
Thursday, December 17, 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
PCCF Office at 104 S. Main, Livingston, MT 59047
Together we’ll explore the near-term perils that come from AI use in our community and elsewhere - especially ways that the perils can affect our missions. We’ll address practical local strategies to get ahead of these perils, including:
Baseline - what do we mean by AI and how well do we know it?
Principles - how specifically AI creates peril and threat - the mechanism of action
Demos and Sharing - an opportunity to choose your own adventure - with options for:
Concrete examples of threats/perils from AI in the near term and some strategies to manage them (the room will have a few to choose from)
An open-room call to share with fellow nonprofits what you’re doing to address threats/perils from AI
An opportunity to voice concerns and brainstorm as a group about how to address them
