"A thoughtful, clear, inspiring roadmap for organizations navigating AI's promise and pitfalls. A valuable resource for mission-oriented practitioners" - Paige Fullman, Host of "Current Affairs Unfiltered"
Caught in an AI tug-of-war?
Nonprofits, government agencies, & social impact companies are feeling tension over AI. On one side, enthusiasts pull toward adoption, eager to do more good. On the other, skeptics and conscientious objectors pull back, fearing that the technology will undermine values central to their mission.
Faced with this tension, many leaders drop the rope. They write no policy or ban AI, both of which create a free-for-all, leaving the organization vulnerable to reputational, legal, and ethical risks.
In Amplify Good Work, Dr. Karen Boyd offers a judgment-free, practical guide to ending the tug-of-war. Drawing on over a decade of experience in mission-driven work & AI ethics research, Dr. Boyd provides a framework to move beyond "refuse or use" and toward confident, values-aligned judgment.
Inside this book, you'll learn:
- A Mission-First Strategy: Values-centered AI policy and practices are critical to your work; how to build one that protects your mission and trust.
- The Values Framework: Learn how AI impacts your mission-critical values, including privacy, sustainability, equity, social connection, and much more, and how to mitigate those risks.
- Human vs. AI Strengths: What can AI (not) do? You'll learn how to identify and defend human-only tasks and how to support safer AI-supported workflows in your work and on your team.
- Practical Implementation: A step-by-step playbook for assessing readiness, prioritizing use cases, and managing the change AI brings to a team.
