Join the Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG) for a discussion regarding the recent release of its groundbreaking version 1 of the "Responsible AI Adoption in Philanthropy" framework. A collaborative effort between TAG and Project Evident, this framework was released in December 2023 with the goal of providing essential guidance on the responsible and equitable use of artificial intelligence (AI) within grantmaking organizations.

During this event, you can expect to learn about the collaborative process that resulted in this first version of the framework. In addition, you'll get to hear from peers and practitioners who contributed to the development of the framework. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the framework's design principles and how they foster equity, transparency, and responsible AI adoption.

Who Should Attend:

  • Grantmaking Executives
  • Philanthropy Tech Professionals
  • Program Managers
  • Technology Leaders
  • AI for Good Enthusiasts and Advocates
