AI is everywhere right now, but how much of what charities are hearing is reality and how much is hype?
In this video, Claire Irving sits down with Steve Corden to explore why AI has become the centre of so many technology discussions, the messages charities are being bombarded with, and where expectations may not always match reality. Together, they discuss Microsoft’s approach to AI, the promises being made by technology vendors, and why charities need to look beyond headlines and marketing claims when assessing new technology.

From productivity claims and automation promises to fears about AI replacing jobs, the discussion cuts through the noise to focus on what charities should really pay attention to.
