The Foundation Financial Managers Group is comprised of executives, officers and senior financial managers of private and community foundations in the tri-state (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) area.  Members share knowledge, concerns and best practices to enhance professional expertise and skills. 

Network Participants:
  • connect with colleagues online, utilizing a web-based group management and information exchange service;

  • meet informally four times a year to discuss financial, investment, tax, legal, governance and high-level operational issues; and

  • contribute to member-sponsored surveys

Topic

AI: Safety and Security Implications & Considerations 

As generative AI continues to evolve, foundations must decide if and how to use it to support their work and advance their missions.  FFMG has invited three speakers to share their perspectives on the considerations and concerns leaders must hold when implementing AI into organizational systems.  Please join us to learn and discuss issues related to safety, ethics, planning and strategy, technical considerations, and AI policies, procedures and governance.

What will you learn?

Attendees can expect 25-30 minutes of presentation followed by Q&A. Some questions to explore include:

  • How can an organization operationalize AI responsibly?

  • How are different organizations using (and not using) AI?

  • How are organizations developing AI philosophies and policies?

  • Which AI products are organizations adopting (and why)?

  • How are organizations protecting staff, both online and in person, from risk/harm?

Speakers

Jennifer Jones-Mitchell, Human Driven AI, Founder and CEO

Katherine Morales, Human Driven AI, Vice President, Human + AI Operations and Governance

Frank Ventura, Ventucom, Partner

Niranjan Haridass, KPMG, US Digital Health Leader – Platform and AI

Who should attend?

FFMG members (trustees, executives, financial officers and senior managers) at private and community foundations should join.

In addition, given the topic of AI implementation is of interest to many roles across an institution, FFMG members may invite up to two (2) additional guests from their institution to attend.
