Announcing AI Week at Salesforce.org

The potential of artificial intelligence can’t be understated. Used correctly, it could empower nonprofits and education institutions like yours to pinpoint student issues earlier and intervene proactively.
For nonprofits, AI can help you raise more money, draft marketing content for donors, predict when a client may be a risk of dropping out of your program, and automate manual tasks so you can spend more time on the interactions that matter.
For higher education, AI can help you can unlock intelligent insights across the entire student lifecycle – from recruiting and admissions to student success and advancement.
Across organizations and institutions, AI-powered bots and assistants could take on more daily tasks, so your staff can focus on what matters most.
But, like all new technologies, mission-driven organizations and higher education institutions are grappling with how to get started with AI and how to use it ethically and effectively.
At Salesforce.org, we envision a human future for AI. Our goal is to put this powerful tool in the hands of changemakers who will use it to drive impact and transform education for good.
This year, we’ll be spending a whole week focused on it, in our first-ever AI for Good Week. We’ll be discussing the many opportunities and challenges presented by AI, as well as how Salesforce products and solutions can help nonprofits and educational institutions.
Throughout the week, we’ll be holding virtual events that will give you the chance to learn about:
- Demystifying AI: Understand what AI really is and why it might not be so scary after all!
- Ethics & AI: Hear from visionaries on the future of AI and ethical use
- Einstein Innovation: See Salesforce AI in action, from Einstein Analytics to Einstein Bots
- Getting Started with Einstein: Learn how you can start using AI today with Education Cloud and Nonprofit Cloud
Join us March 18-22 for the virtual AI event of the year for changemakers!
