Navigating AI in the charity sector: best practices for policy

Overall aim: Organisations right across the sector are now using AI tools to work more effectively. But very few charities have clear guidance or governance in place. This session will give you the confidence and insight you need to develop AI policies and guidance that align to your values.
Description: Discover how your organisation can embrace artificial intelligence with confidence and integrity. In this interactive workshop with two AI governance experts, we will explore practical, values-led approaches to AI policy tailored for charities, social enterprises, and purpose-driven teams. Learn how to balance innovation with responsibility, build trust with the people you serve, and align technology with your mission. Whether you're just starting out or refining your AI approach, this is your roadmap to ethical, and effective AI governance.
