Nonprofit Leaders Urged to Address AI and Cybersecurity Risks Amid Widespread Adoption
Nonprofit organizations are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) tools, with 92% of nonprofits reportedly using AI-enabled tools according to 'The 2026 Nonprofit AI Adoption Report.' Despite this widespread adoption, nearly half of these organizations lack a formal AI governance policy. The report highlights the need for nonprofit leaders to establish clear governance and security protocols to manage the risks associated with AI. Key considerations include setting up responsible guardrails, focusing on lower-risk use cases, scrutinizing third-party software vendors, and understanding AI-focused cyber threats. The emphasis is on balancing productivity with risk management to ensure that AI adoption aligns with the organization's mission and stakeholder interests.
