DeAnna Hoskins, JustLeadershipUSA President and CEO, sat down recently with Mallory Erickson, host of the “What the Fundraising” podcast to discuss “Responsible AI Adoption for Grassroots and Justice-Focused Nonprofits.”
As the episode description states, “AI is no longer a future trend. It is reshaping how organizations lead, innovate, and create impact today, and nonprofits are no exception. … [DeAnna’s] experience in government and nonprofit leadership gives her a unique view on how technology, policy, and community work can come together to create positive change.
“During the conversation, DeAnna explains why nonprofits should invest in AI training before adopting new tools. She mentions that AI should support people, not replace them, and that human oversight is always important. She also talks about the need to reduce bias in AI, to create clear guidelines for its use, and to continue learning as the technology evolves. Furthermore, DeAnna discusses the role of philanthropy in funding AI education and helping organizations build the skills they need.”
“AI is not going to take people’s jobs if you actually implement the governance structure that is necessary, where a human has to be involved in every step of the way.” —DeAnna Hoskins
Mallory Erickson writes, “AI is changing how we work, but the biggest risk isn’t being left behind by the technology, it’s being left behind because we weren’t given the opportunity to learn how to use it.
“If philanthropy wants AI to create more equitable outcomes, we can’t just fund the tools. We have to invest in the people who will use them.
“Because AI only reflects the perspectives and experiences that are built into it. If communities aren’t at the table shaping these tools, their voices—and their realities, get left out.
“This isn’t just about innovation. It’s about capacity, education, and ensuring organizations have what they need to participate in the future, not just react to it.
“The time to invest in learning is now, before today’s trend becomes tomorrow’s expectation.”
