AI Playground: Open Discussion for Nonprofit Professionals (Series)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are showing up everywhere — in writing platforms, design programs, search tools, spreadsheets, CRMs, meeting software and the everyday products many organizations already use. But more access does not automatically mean more usefulness. To get real value from AI, people need to understand how these tools work, what they are good at, where they can fall short, and how to guide them with clarity and judgment.

Alice-Anne Harwood and Aaron Sherrill of Carnelian are ready to answer your questions about AI. Come to the playground to share what you're testing out, talk about challenges, find guidance and discover simple solutions.

Each interactive session will explore a new theme and AI tool. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so bring your AI questions!
