A Talk by Adam Paulisick , Benjamin Luczak , Fred Brown , Karyn Pratt and Emily Francis
About this Talk
By the time of this session, the nation will be 135 days into a new administration already reshaping how underserved communities pursue equity — and artificial intelligence (AI) is at the center of that shift.
For the past five years, The Forbes Funds has explored the regenerative potential of AI in the social sector. Rather than fear disruption, they've co-designed tools with impacted communities — leveraging AI as a catalyst for equity, not a threat.
This panel introduces The Forbes Funds’ 8Rs model of co-creation and rapid prototyping, and brings together cross-sector leaders to explore:
- How AI can serve as a force multiplier for equity in underserved communities
- Breakthroughs and blind spots emerging in today’s wave of AI adoption
- How community organizations must evolve to ensure AI enhances, rather than replaces, human dignity
