Trust for London is proud to be one of the member organisations of a new charity AI task force.
With artificial intelligence playing a growing role in all our lives, the new taskforce will aim to ensure that the charity sector is involved as the technology and regulations develop.
It will provide a collective voice for AI in the charity sector, influence responsible and inclusive AI use, encourage collaboration , and align efforts to ensure better support for the sector.
The task force is convened by CAST and Zoe Amar Digital, and made up of more than 20 member organisations.
Zoe Amar of Zoe Amar Digital said:
The charity sector possesses crucial insights into societal challenges that must inform the development of AI tools. Our immediate priority is responding to the government's AI plan, to help shape responsible innovation that truly serves communities.
Launching the task force at the February event, The National Lottery Community Fund CEO David Knott said:
Artificial intelligence is no longer a topic of the future or an operational matter for tomorrow - it is the defining strategic question of our time. As funders and civil society leaders, we have a responsibility - not just to understand AI but to ensure that it serves people and communities.
The member organisations of the new taskforce are: The National Lottery Community Fund, Lucy Faithfull Foundation, CharityComms, Access Social Care, Big Give, London Funders, King’s College London, Trust for London, The Care Workers Charity, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, Shelter, Charity Digital, TLC: Talk, Listen, Change and Neighbourly.
