This session focuses on the principles of responsible AI use—exploring equity, privacy, transparency, and safety--and answering many of the most common questions raised by nonprofits curious about AI. You'll learn how to spot common risks, apply simple safeguards, and use AI in a way that aligns with your community values and organizational ethics.

The final video in this three-part series dives into practical, intermediate-level tips for using ChatGPT effectively in a nonprofit setting. Created by the Fund for the City of New York for OpenAI Academy, this session walks through features like custom instructions, file uploads, and GPTs—helping you go from beginner to confident user. If your organization is ready to move from experimentation to real-world application, this is your next step.

In this OpenAI Academy session, Autoblocks will break down why evaluations (evals) are essential for any team serious about shipping trustworthy AI. We’ll share practical workflows, lessons learned from real-world deployments in healthcare and finance, and show how to create evaluation processes that keep pace with rapid development. Whether you’re just starting to productionize LLMs or looking to scale safely, this session will give you tactical strategies you can apply immediately.
