Generative AI will have a pronounced impact on fundraisers' work, particularly those who work with data and do prospect research leading to a donor cultivation strategy. The technology has many benefits, for example saving time by automating a lot of tasks such as customizing communication, prospect research, and creating a donor stewardship schedule. It will also open up many dilemmas and questions about responsible use. Join presenters Allison Fine and Beth Kanter to gain an understanding of the new suite of digital tools for fundraising and a discussion about how fundraisers can adopt AI in a knowledgeable, reflective, and ethical way.
