Training overview:

Gradient Institute ran this free online training session on Socially Responsible AI for Australian not-for-profits and social enterprises on September 12th.

Recent discussions with Australian not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) have revealed a strong interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to further their missions, coupled with concerns about potential risks and organizational readiness. As AI technologies, particularly large language models (LLMs), gain traction in corporate and public sectors, NFPs are increasingly concerned about technological disparities.

This online session covered:

  • Fundamentals of AI systems
  • Capabilities of AI, with emphasis on LLMs
  • AI opportunities specific to the NFP sector
  • Strategies for safe and responsible AI implementation
  • The session is designed for both technical and non-technical participants, with no prior AI or machine learning knowledge required.

Gradient Institute was able to provide this training free-of-charge through the support of a grant from Google.org, Google’s charitable arm.
