Are you...
- Hearing hype about AI everywhere, but not sure what’s actually useful for your charity?
- Wondering what tools are worth using and how?
- Want some simple, no-pressure ways to start?
You don’t need to become technology experts - just have a clear idea of what’s worth your time, now and in the future.
In this webinar, Dr Alex Evans will demystify AI for small charities – cutting through the hype to show what’s actually useful, what’s nonsense, and what might be worth exploring.
This is a 30-minute crash course on how charities can make practical use of AI, and where to be cautious!
It will cover:
- Everyday tools: What you can do right now with free or low-cost tools - from summarising reports to writing funding bids. And how to do it properly…
- Realistic policy and training: What your organisation needs to stay safe and confident, without overreacting or ignoring it altogether.
- Bigger possibilities: What’s on the horizon? What could be a gamechanger? And what dangers do we need to be aware of?
