The Impact Post | Your Organization's Guide to be AI-Ready
Issue # 56 | Monday, 15 September 2025
Get ready to become AI-ready!
This edition of Impact Post is packed with the tools, resources, and insights you need to navigate the world of artificial intelligence.
We've curated an issue that's both practical and thought-provoking. We'll start by breaking down how AI can tackle the everyday challenges that non-profits face. Then, as you consider taking the next step, our research team will provide you with a detailed data governance framework to help you seamlessly integrate AI into your workflow.
But it's not all technical. We've included a piece from our project team that humorously contrasts the perception of AI in urban boardrooms (Artificial Intelligence) with its meaning in rural India (Artificial Insemination). Our Gender COE, highlights the importance of inclusive technology development–a topic we explore further in a fascinating case study. Plus, if you're feeling overwhelmed by open-source technologies, we have a clear framework to guide you.
And before you go, don't forget to check out our events page for details on our annual event, Facets of Impact. We have some truly promising discussions on the horizon, curated specifically for you.
Happy Reading!
