AI is already transforming the third sector—but are charities ready?
In this episode of The Charity Show, Tim and Piers are joined by two of the sector’s leading digital thinkers: Zoe Amar and Dan Sutch, co-founders of the new Charity AI Task Force. Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is being used across the sector, the risks it poses, and how organisations can embrace it ethically and strategically.
