Full description from organizerShow less
Not a panel. Not a keynote. A working lab. You'll be in the room with an AI crisis that already happened, and your job is to figure out what went wrong, why, and what could have been avoided. Working in small teams, you'll look into real cases where AI systems built with good intentions produced harmful or unintended outcomes in social impact and climate organizations. Not as an observer. As someone who could have been in that meeting. A shared framework. Real failures. A confidential space. Ninety minutes of actual work. What you'll leave with A solid Responsible AI framework you can share with your team A new way of reading AI risk - before and after deployment Questions to bring back to your team on Monday Peer perspectives from organizations navigating the same pressures One concrete change you want to implement in your organization right away. Who this is forLeaders in social impact, climate, and philanthropy who are already using AI, or know they'll be responsible for how their team and organization does. No technical background required, we welcome people who use AI, build AI, or are being managed by AI. Lived experience with organizational pressure: essential. Hosted by Mara Puacz, Founder of NONLINEAR.Impact, Benev.AI Board Member Special guest Kuldeep Bandhu Aryal, AI Enablement Lead, Tech To The Rescue 30 spots. Registration is required.
