AI & Technology • Virtual Event
Offered by Stanford Social Innovation Review, learn how to thoughtfully integrate AI while protecting your cognitive capabilities and explore how learning how to use AI with intention can allow leaders to maintain or even supercharge their creativity and problem-solving abilities, while also enabling nonprofits to reap productivity gains from this technology.
You will learn how to:
- Distinguish healthy vs. unhealthy cognitive offloading (and understand when to save time without sacrificing skills)
- Understand the research on AI dependence as well as its impact on core workplace cognitive skills
- Apply practical cognitive and prompting techniques to use AI as a thought partner rather than a replacement for thinking
- Explore AI applications for skill-building, strategic analysis, creative problem-solving, and amplifying organizational impact
- Make informed decisions about when to automate, augment, or keep work human-only.
