Ethical AI in Action: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence Responsibly
2026-02-10 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | zoom.us/j/99994150104
Course Description:
In this session, we will dive into how artificial intelligence (AI) presents both powerful opportunities and significant ethical challenges when deployed in the real world. Drawing from the insights in the Fíonta article, we’ll explore how AI isn’t just a futuristic “take-over” scenario, but rather a tool whose impact is shaped by the humans who build, deploy, and govern it. We’ll examine three core ethical fault-lines — bias encoded in data, decisions made by “black-box” models without explainability, and the dark side of large-scale data analytics infringing on personal privacy. Then, we’ll shift into the positive side: how organizations can harness AI for good by embedding human judgement, designing for transparency, testing carefully, and aligning AI systems with values and mission. Participants will leave with concrete take-aways to assess their own AI initiatives and steer them towards responsible, human-centred use.

Learning Objectives:
Recognize the key ethical risks posed by AI systems — including bias, lack of transparency/explainability, and invasions of privacy.
Assess whether an AI deployment is aligned with human-centred values and organizational goals, and identify early warning signs when it is not.
Apply a practical framework for testing, evaluating, and monitoring AI systems for fairness, accountability and transparency.
Develop strategies for integrating human oversight and judgement into AI workflows — making sure that “smart computers” and “smart people” act in tandem.
Explore opportunities where AI can be used ethically and responsibly to advance mission-driven outcomes, rather than inadvertently causing harm.

Is the Data in the Room With Us? Channeling Association Data Into One Place
2026-02-25 11:00 - 12:00 | zoom.us/j/94036804588
Course Description:
Association teams collect valuable data across events, membership, marketing, and finance, yet that information often lives in separate systems and departments. When data is fragmented, organizations struggle to demonstrate impact, respond to leadership questions, and make informed decisions.
In Is the Data in the Room with Us? Channeling Association Data into One Place, participants will explore why data silos exist in associations and how bringing data together without replacing existing systems can improve clarity, collaboration, and insight. This practical, non-technical session focuses on aligning people and processes first, helping teams create a shared view of their data and turn disconnected information into actionable analytics.

Learning Objectives:
Identify where data silos commonly exist within associations and understand how they limit reporting, decision-making, and efficiency.
Apply a practical framework for channeling data into one shared view, focusing on alignment and process rather than replacing systems.
Implement strategies to reduce manual work and duplicate effort by improving how data is collected, shared, and used across departments.
Apply connected data to answer leadership questions with confidence, supporting clearer insights around events, engagement, and organizational impact.
