10 AI Trends for Digital Leaders

Pre-recorded

A Talk by Ellen Smyth (Programme Lead, CAST (The Centre for the Acceleration of Social Technology))

About this Talk

The rapid growth of AI is bringing important questions to the fore for digital leaders – how do we empower teams to use AI with confidence, what are the risks, and how does it impact our strategy? And what does it all mean for our mission - what is worthwhile, when it comes to exploring AI? In this session, CAST will share ten AI trends for digital leaders. We'll draw on our experience and learning from convening CAST's AI for charity digital leaders peer group and our AI for grant makers peer group – a network of over 300 sector leaders exploring AI. We’ll invite participants to reflect on the impact of these trends on their organisational strategy and mission - and we'll provide tools and resources to support this thinking, or even get involved in sector-wide AI initiatives. This is an interactive talk, we’ll introduce what we heard from our AI survey which explores the most pressing sector needs and demo free practical tools we've designed to support digital leaders on their own unique journey.
