Allison Fine and I have been actively researching and writing about AI for Social Good and Nonprofits. Most recently, we co-authored a policy brief for the Toda Peace Institute on artificial intelligence and its implications for civil society.

They discussed more pragmatic than philosophical questions, particularly the ethical implications of AI.
