How to write a people-first AI policy for your org

•  How can nonprofits create people-first AI policies that is digestible and usable?

• How can nonprofits adopt the AI tools staff are already using in ways that strengthen their mission while safeguarding data and digital integrity?

• How can organizations foster a culture of psychological safety around AI?

Your nonprofit has an AI policy — great! But if it reads like a legal document, it’s likely that staff aren't using it... maybe at all. This workshop will guide attendees through creating AI policies that are clear, actionable, and easy-to-implement by staff. We’ll explore how to front-load useful guidance, align AI use with your mission, streamline tool adoption, and build inclusive working groups that support responsible use.

Plus, we’ll cover how to foster a culture of psychological safety around AI mistakes — turning “oops” moments into learning opportunities. Join Steve Sharer at RipRap Security to rethink how your organization uses AI in a way that empowers your organization's mission and prioritizes its cyber security.
