“Is it ethical to use AI to write or enhance our beneficiary stories?”

“Can AI-generated stories still reflect lived experiences with accuracy and dignity?”

“How do we maintain consent, transparency, and authenticity in an AI-assisted world?”

As artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in nonprofit communications, organizations are facing new and often uncomfortable questions about how this powerful technology impacts the way we collect, craft, and share stories.

In the next installment of our “Narratives With Integrity” series, we’re digging into the complex intersection of AI and ethical storytelling.

Join us for this timely MemoryFox Special Event on June 19, 2025, at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT, led by MemoryFox CEO/Founder Chris Miano, where our panel of thought leaders will explore:

• When AI is appropriate to use to enhance storytelling (and when it is inappropriate) 
• The risks and rewards of using AI tools in story creation
• Strategies for maintaining consent, ownership, and transparency
• Real-world examples of how nonprofits are experimenting with AI ethically

Meet the Panelists:

• Meena Das – Founder & CEO, Namaste Data
• Erik Tomalis – Chief Revenue Officer, Avid
• Taylor Wilson – CEO & Founder, Creative Shizzle
• Tim Lockie – Founder & CEO, The Human Stack

Your questions will lead the way. The ONLY questions we’ll ask during the session come directly from attendees—submit your most pressing questions about how to ethically use AI for nonprofit storytelling, and we’ll bring them to our panelists live.

Don’t miss this chance to explore one of the most important ethical frontiers in modern storytelling—AI is here, but how we use it is up to us.
