In the dynamic realm of social entrepreneurship, a significant transformation is unfolding, fueled by the power of emerging technologies. Innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, social media and online platforms are redefining how social enterprises operate, engage with stakeholders and drive impact. This important and timely topic came to us from The Edge in their article, “Solutions: Emerging technologies shaping the future of social enterprise.”
Central to this transformation is data-driven decision-making. By leveraging the analytical prowess of AI and machine learning, social enterprises can gain profound insights into the needs and preferences of their beneficiaries. This enables them to predict service demand, pinpoint areas for intervention and optimize resource allocation, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness and maximizing the impact of their initiatives.
The fusion of technology and social entrepreneurship marks a pivotal shift in addressing the world’s most urgent challenges. Embracing these emerging technologies allows social enterprises to explore new avenues for innovation, collaboration and impact. However, to fully realize the potential of technology in the social sector, there must be a steadfast commitment to inclusivity, transparency and ethical responsibility. By harnessing technology for the betterment of humanity, we can pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
The real challenge is that most organizations have little knowledge on how AI systems make decisions. Explainable AI allows users to comprehend and trust the results and output created by machine learning algorithms.
