Prospect development series: Not all AIs are alike

There’s a need for reliable AI tools in the prospect development space, especially as AI models evolve rapidly. Purpose-built tools can simplify the role of researchers, allowing them to focus on strategic tasks instead of constantly retraining. AI has the potential to elevate roles within organisations, moving professionals beyond administrative tasks to become strategic partners in fundraising and decision-making processes. It draws parallels to the early days of the internet. While AI is currently in a nascent stage, it will become integral to work processes, much like search engines have. Before using AI tools, particularly generative models, it’s essential to review privacy policies to ensure that sensitive data isn’t misused. Research tools built specifically for the industry, like Xapien, are more appropriate for handling confidential information about prospects.
