At Candid, we're all about collecting and standardizing data to increase transparency about what goes on in the social sector. AND, because of that, it's especially important for us to think deeply about the possible unintended consequences of data standardization. How could data standardization go wrong? And when it does, who is impacted? I'm honored to have had the opportunity to talk about this important issue in my recent Stanford Social Innovation Review article. What challenges do you see when organizations standardize data? https://lnkd.in/ewhpQm33

Here are three reasons why your nonprofit should consider adopting an AI policy, based on what we learned from the process of crafting one at Candid. Astrid Vinje, contracts and compliance manager at Candid, highlights how Candid’s AI policy helps us use AI in a way that amplifies our mission. 1. Mitigate risks: AI technologies can pose risks such as copyright infringement, breach of confidentiality, inaccurate information, and unintentional bias. An AI policy protects not only the organization but also its clients. 2. Establish clear standards and procedures: It provides a structure that specifies what tools can be used, who makes those decisions, what can be shared with AI, and how staff will interpret and apply the results. 3. Prepare for the future: It’s impossible to predict what new tools will be developed or what new uses will emerge. Drafting an AI policy that focuses on best practices, rather than specific tools, ensures that our organization is ready for new developments. To learn more and start developing an AI policy for your organization read the full article on Candid insights.

VP of Influence at Candid | Advancing our collective impact across the social sector through thought leadership, strategic coalitions, and campaigns
Had such a great time talking with Jeff Jiménez-Kurlander, MPA, Ellen Dickenson, and Kerrin Mitchell about systems change via data collaboration at scale to a packed room at #PEAK2024 yesterday! We must work together to get better equity data for the sector, to reduce burdens on grantees, and give nonprofits more benefits in telling their stories. Thank you to Surdna Foundation, Fluxx, and United Way of Massachusetts Bay for being such incredible partners in this work with Candid. Visit www.candid.org/dvc to learn more.
