At the Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit, we talked to Laura Frank from COLab, the Colorado News Collaborative about how they are using AI to drive powerful insights. Hear how AI has transformed their work and velocity. "Collab does a survey of news organizations every year, and a number of the answers in that survey are open text. Being able to analyze that using AI is such an incredible difference compared to what journalists would have had to do years ago. I can remember one of the first times that I ever did an open text analysis, I actually had to collaborate with the University of Illinois supercomputing unit so that we could do that. (Now) I'm able to just sit at a kitchen table on a Saturday afternoon. Going from supercomputing to Saturday afternoon ChatGPT analysis just shows you the power that AI can put in the hands of people." 💡 Ready to start your own nonprofit AI transformation?
