Artificial intelligence (AI) has gone from nowhere to everywhere in just about three years. If you are like most nonprofit leaders, you are already using AI, but you still have questions about the cybersecurity considerations and risks for your organization. Today, 92% of nonprofits have adopted AI-enabled tools, as noted in “The 2026 Nonprofit AI Adoption Report,” but in the same report nearly half (47%) indicate having no AI governance policy. AI adoption is a great way to engage younger staff and to bring in volunteers and board members with different perspectives. It is likewise critical that nonprofit leaders get up to speed on both the benefits and risks, as well as on how generative AI and AI agents are changing the game. Don’t make the mistake of missing out on the efficiencies these tools can deliver. And, don’t make the mistake of ignoring the risks they introduce.
