At The Engine Room, we support partners in navigating digital security and responsible data challenges through our Cybersecurity Assessment Tool and Light Touch Support. As part of that work, we’re excited to host our first Ask Me (Us) Anything: Cybersecurity Edition.
Through our support work at The Engine Room, we’ve been hearing growing questions from communities about AI, including its risks, opportunities, and how to use it responsibly. As part of our ongoing support for civil society organizations using the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT), we hosted a community call exploring practical and political approaches to AI safety from Global Majority perspectives.
How can civil society safely and ethically adopt AI?That’s the question many organizations are asking as artificial intelligence tools become more accessible and increasingly incorporated into internal workflows.
