Nonprofit AI : a comprehensive guide to implementing artificial intelligence for social good / by Chappell, Nathan,author.P(CARDINAL)867685; Rosenkrans, Scott,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Despite the clear benefits, many nonprofits are still in the nascent stages of their AI transformation journey. Recent studies have found that while 89% of nonprofit organizations believe AI will improve efficiency, only 12% currently use it. This gap known as the "digital chasm" highlights the urgent need for comprehensive guidance on AI adoption tailored specifically for the nonprofit sector. This book aims to fill this gap by providing a broad overview of in-depth examples of how nonprofits can leverage AI to increase the impact of their missions. The book offers an all-encompassing guide to understanding and implementing AI in the nonprofit sector. It addresses both theoretical and practical aspects, ensuring that readers gain a holistic understanding of AI's potential. "AI will not replace nonprofit organizations but nonprofits that effectively use AI will replace those that do not.""--

Replaceable you : adventures in human anatomy / by Roach, Mary,author.(CARDINAL)342147;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [264]-276).First thoughts -- To build a nose -- Gimme some skin -- Mixed meats -- Heart in a box -- The vagina dialogue -- Giving the finger -- The cut-off point -- Joint ventures -- Intubation for dummies -- Heavy breathing -- The Mongolian eyeball -- The last six inches -- Out of ink -- Shaft -- Splitting hairs -- The ass men -- Some of the parts -- Last thoughts -- Epilogue.The body is the most complex machine in the world, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available--sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we're attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet? In Replaceable You, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body's failings. When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina? Roach dives in with her characteristic verve and infectious wit. Her travels take her to the OR at a legendary burn unit in Boston, a "superclean" xeno-pigsty in China, and a stem cell "hair nursery" in the San Diego tech hub. She talks with researchers and surgeons, amputees and ostomates, printers of kidneys and designers of wearable organs. She spends time in a working iron lung from the 1950s, stays up all night with recovery techs as they disassemble and reassemble a tissue donor, and travels across Mongolia with the cataract surgeons of Orbis International. Irrepressible and accessible, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.
