In an effort to bridge the technological divide and the advent of artificial intelligence in the country, Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) in partnership with Association of Foundations (AF), Caucus of Development NGO Networks (CODE-NGO), Foundation for a Sustainable Society, Inc.FSSI, and Philippine Council for NGO Certification, Inc. PCNC organized an exclusive learning session entitled, Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI): What It Is and Why It Matters for NGOs.

Mr. Elvin Ivan Y. Uy, the Executive Director of PBSP, served as the resource speaker.

The learning session discussed the general overview of generative AI and its concepts including some of the underlying technologies, applications, use cases, and the potential benefits for users, as well as understanding its ethical considerations including transparency, bias, and privacy.

The session aims to jumpstart a more purposive discussion regarding AI and its implications within the local development sector and how it can be a tool for advancing their causes and advocacies.
