Artificial Intelligence in the Social Impact Sector and the Why Behind Altruous with Jim Carter III

Technologist and philanthropist Jim Carter III joins Mike Spear to demystify AI for the social impact sector, sharing practical strategies including his three-question framework for identifying AI opportunities and revealing how he helped facilitate $10 million in cryptocurrency donations to nonprofits. The conversation challenges the nonprofit sector's technology resistance, with both hosts arguing that AI adoption is now an imperative for organizations serious about their missions, while demonstrating through real examples—from digital clones to Altruous's AI-powered evaluation system—how artificial intelligence amplifies rather than replaces human judgment in philanthropy.
