Presentation on AI use for Data Analysis to Drive Fundraising Performance

Joel Weinbach

I am working on a presentation intended to be delivered to user groups. The topic is above. It would include:

1. A short version of the long history of neural networks and AI, or, how we got to where this is a thing.

2. The definition of “Safe” (how to protect your data) when you are thinking about using AI to help with data analysis.

3. What exactly is AI better and faster at than most humans, and how did it get that way?

4. Why is the human still the most important participant in the process?

5. How can the two work together best?

6. What can AI now bring to the “partnership” that you would not expect?

7. Look at some examples of how the above can be incorporated to enable fundraisers to dig deeper into their data exponentially faster for new insights, identify patterns and markers regarding micro subsets of donors, quickly validate their intuition with data, answer board questions, etc.

This is meant to be an educational presentation for people who may not be closely following all of these advances, would like some background information, and who want to be somewhat conversant in the current state of AI with respect to use with their data.

The target time window for this is 30 minutes. This is not a sales presentation, but I will use our platform to demonstrate some of AI's current analysis capabilities because I know it. You could use the same approach with other AI-powered data analysis platforms.

This will be a TEAMs presentation, sometime the week of July 10. Exact date and time still TBD. If you would like an invitation, email me at Joel.Weinbach@ReportingXpress.com Reporting Xpress is a Blackbaud Technology Partner.
