Goldhirsh Foundation Partners With OpenAI on ‘AI Nonprofit Jam'

The Goldhirsh Foundation served as the Los Angeles regional convener for OpenAI’s day-long AI Nonprofit Jam. The Center for Nonprofit Management joined in a similar role.

Registration was closed for the gathering, which OpenAI describes as, “a nationwide, hands-on event where nonprofit teams build practical AI solutions in a single day–guided by OpenAI Academy facilitators, trusted technical mentors, local partners, and peer collaboration.”

The AI Nonprofit Jams across the country are hosted by OpenAI in coordination with the Walton Family Foundation, Emerson Collective, Decoded Futures, National Center for Civic Innovation, and Fund for the City of New York.

Our president, Tara Roth, delivered welcoming remarks, and our LA2050 grantee AltaSea also spoke, in part describing the ways that the acclaimed organization has used AI since they began receiving free-of-charge AI training from Goldhirsh Foundation’s AI executive-in-residence, Jen García.

AI, especially as related to ethics and community impact, is a topic the Goldhirsh Foundation and its LA2050 initiative have been tracking since 2019. For more information, including a video, see this collection of posts on our LA2050.org site: https://la2050.org/blogs/ai/1
