DISCUSSION DOCUMENT

Are you thinking about AI and how it affects your work? Concerned about the impact of AI on climate change? Want to get a handle on how policy making might affect you -- or how you might shape it?Canadian non-profits need to get involved in advocacy relating to artificial intelligence policy. It’s complex and fast-moving. Katie Gibson clearly articulated the good thinking needed on AI for Canada’s nonprofits in a recent article of the Philanthropist. This area is complex and fast moving but she supplies us the questions and processes and encourages each of us to get in the game. In this conversation she'll recap what the sector is facing but customize her thoughts for the environmental community. There will be plenty of opportunity for back and forth so join us then for an empowering and insightful exchange with someone in the middle of this emerging priority.
