Charity Questions Podcast - 3x05

The ultimate charity podcast for anyone looking for answers to their questions.

Is artificial intelligence the sector’s new secret weapon or just another buzzword to worry about? In this lively chat, DSC’s George Knight sits down with Dan Such, Director of Innovation at CAST, to unpack how charities, social enterprises and funders can put people at the centre of the digital revolution.

Dan shares his journey from the classroom to leading CAST’s mission of amplifying civil‑society voices in tech, explains why an “AI intern” might be the most helpful (and cheapest) hire you make this year, and balances big‑picture ethics with easy, low‑cost experiments any organisation can try right now.
