Seat at the Table: Security, Shadow AI, and Vendor Questions
Seat at the Table: IT
Whether your foundation has an IT director, an outside provider, or one staff member who "knows computers," AI raises questions that land on that seat: what tools people are using without telling anyone, what data is leaving the building, and how to evaluate vendors who now all claim AI features. This conversation brings the IT perspective to foundation leaders in plain language.
What we'll explore
Shadow AI: what staff are already using, and how to respond without shutting curiosity down
Data security, privacy, and the questions to ask any AI vendor
Practical guardrails that fit a small or mid-size foundation
Special guest: TBD
