Certificate in Applied AI for Social Good
PoliSync
A modular, free certificate that covers ethics and governance alongside operations and storytelling, which most free intros skip.
Four short courses: foundations and ethics; AI for operations; AI for research and data; and AI for storytelling and advocacy. Complete all four for the certificate, or dip into one. The governance module includes a walk-through of the EU AI Act as it applies to nonprofits, which is rare at this level. Less well known than the big-tech offerings, and worth it precisely because it was written for the sector.
- Format: Self-paced
- Cost: Free
- Who it's for: Nonprofit staff who want a structured, low-commitment introduction with a certificate at the end
- Time commitment: Four short courses; take one or all
- Languages: English
