Artificial intelligence is increasingly being implemented in workplace settings around the world as a means of enhancing operations and generating further impact. Global development is no different, experts say, and that means some within the space will have to gain a level of knowledge around its potential use cases and the ethics in implementing such technology.
“Because generative AI usage in the foreseeable future will become commonplace, nonprofits will likewise have to adapt, adopt, internalize, and find those uses for the technology that make sense for their model of service, their programs and operations, and most importantly, their mission,” Lance Pierce, the CEO of NetHope, an organization that connects nonprofits with technology innovators, said in an email.
AI, according to IBM, is the use of technology to emulate human problem-solving and decision-making capabilities. Generative AI, such as the online chatbot ChatGPT, is a type of AI that generates data using certain algorithms.
