Tips for Charities to make the most of AI and Cloud Storage

Newscaster Charity Digital explore why cloud storage and collaboration matters for charities, how they can use it to improve productivity and keep their content secure.

Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to emerge as a major difference maker, transforming organisations and redefining the way we approach society’s challenges. And this is all amid today's rapidly evolving landscape.

Over time, experts believe charities stand to gain significant benefits from putting in place some form of AI to help them with their daily work or long term goals.

But it may be difficult for a small charity to see how the use of AI and similar technology like the cloud might be helpful to them, and what risks it could present as well as knowing where to start to use it effectively.

In that respect, to use AI and similar tech successfully, charities should need to think about organisational strategy first and the tools second.

As an example, where the use of AI develops and more applications become available, it would pay for a charity to consider if having an internal AI policy would be beneficial.

In that way, it would become clearer as to how and when AI can be used in governance, where it can be used by employees in their work, or in the delivery of their products or their services to those they help and support.

Granted, there are generative and predictive AI models that could help charities better achieve their outcomes, but AI can only help when charities are clear on what they want to achieve in the first place.

Newscaster Charity Digital explore this and more in their guide to understand how the use of AI and the cloud might be helpful to a charity and how to get started using it within their organisation.

With references from technology resources provider Box.org, they offer an incite into how AI and related technologies could help boost a charity’s productivity, allowing them to make sure their time is better spent on the communities they serve.
