Summary

Andy Ricketts and Dami Adewale are joined by John Fitzgerald, digital evolution project manager at the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations. John describes some of the easy-to-use AI tools that can improve efficiency in working life and shares examples of charities that are already employing them effectively. He warns of data privacy issues associated with using free services and the risk of “buzzword bingo” when AI is leaned on heavily in funding applications.
