Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming industries, and philanthropy is no exception. To explore how funders can navigate this evolving landscape, Temelio CEO & co-founder Maya Kuppermann spoke with Chantal Forster, former Executive Director of The Technology Association of Grantmakers and a trusted advisor to foundations on technology and AI strategy.
In this conversation, they explore the evolving role of AI in philanthropy, from its current "shadow AI" usage to its potential for transforming outdated processes.
Chantal highlights two major opportunities: streamlining the grantmaking process and unlocking the long-discussed dream of collective impact through data sharing. While some funders remain cautious about AI, others are pioneering data-driven approaches, exploring AI tools to check institutional bias, automate reporting, and even rethink traditional application processes.
The conversation also touches on ethical concerns, including security, privacy, and inclusivity in AI adoption. As AI continues to shape philanthropy, Chantal emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach—bringing funders together to responsibly harness AI's potential for greater impact.
This discussion underscores the importance of approaching AI with both curiosity and intentionality. By embracing AI strategically, philanthropy can enhance its effectiveness while staying true to its core mission.
