Unlocking the Potential of AI for Non-Profits

Non-profit organizations are increasingly recognizing how artificial intelligence (AI) can be a game-changer in advancing their missions. However, the reality is that very few organizations, including non-profits, are fully prepared for AI adoption—or even know where to start.

But in a sector that is constantly challenged with tight budgets and resources, AI presents a significant opportunity. As Microsoft and others invest more in technology to make AI more accessible, implementing an AI strategy is more cost-effective and can happen much sooner than non-profits might think.

Data: AI’s Hidden Challenge

The world of AI is in constant flux today, so there are many questions around AI, from security to ethics. But the main challenge lies with data. The volume of data generated has grown at an astonishing rate, outpacing our ability to manage it.

We can store data, but actually using it is where the trouble starts. Non-profits have data scattered everywhere, resulting in numerous, isolated "single sources" of data truth. Since AI depends on data, it must be addressed before an AI strategy can be put into place.
