NEW DATE!: APRIL 28TH

In the current context of digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a key tool for organizations. However, its use raises significant challenges in terms of ethics, transparency, and social impact.

In this session, we will explore what responsible AI truly means and how third-sector organizations can integrate it in an ethical way aligned with their values. Key concepts, best practices, and real-life cases will be shared to help understand how to apply AI with responsibility and governance criteria.

The Clúster Digital de Catlaunya and the Taula d’entitats del Tercer Sector Social de Catalunya are co-organizing this new digital training session aimed at organizations interested in digitalization and data management, within the framework of the European project DO IMPACT (Digital and Data-driven Opportunities to strengthen the Social Economy Impact). The project aims to promote the digital transformation of social economy organizations, helping them adopt digital solutions and data-driven models to improve efficiency, transparency, and social impact.

This time, the focus is on the responsible and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence, with the participation of a leading expert in the field: Nataly Buslón.
