Description:
Plagiarism and bias are real risks when using AI in grantwriting and communications. AI tools can unintentionally replicate existing inequities, reproduce other people’s work too closely, or generate content that doesn’t reflect your nonprofit’s authentic voice. Learning how to identify and address these issues is critical to using AI responsibly.
In this session, Alice Ruhnke and David Gates will explain why plagiarism occurs in the AI context, how bias shows up, and what you can do to reduce these risks. You’ll discover strategies for editing AI outputs to ensure originality, inclusivity, and alignment with your organization’s values.
You’ll learn:
- why plagiarism happens with AI—and how to prevent it;
- how AI can unintentionally replicate inequities and exclusionary language;
- techniques for reducing bias in tone, prioritization, and framing;
- how to use AI outputs as a starting point rather than a final product; and,
- practical steps for editing content so it reflects your nonprofit’s voice.
You’ll leave with concrete strategies to transform AI drafts into polished, ethical, and mission-driven communications.

TargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session is perfect for any member of a nonprofit organization seeking to use AI ethically.
