TOPIC:  AI in Advocacy & Ethics: Navigating the Next Frontier

Building on the foundation laid in The AI Imperative, this session takes a deeper dive into the intersection of AI, advocacy, and ethics. As associations increasingly leverage AI for engagement, policy influence, and member services, leaders must navigate the ethical considerations and potential risks that come with these advancements.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how AI is shaping advocacy efforts, from data-driven policy insights to automated communication strategies. We’ll also explore the ethical implications of AI in decision-making, transparency, and bias mitigation. Attendees will leave with practical insights on leveraging AI responsibly while maintaining trust, integrity, and ethical leadership in their organizations.
