Section 1
The big idea
Social workers carry huge caseloads. AI helps them write case notes faster, screen for risk patterns, and find local services (food banks, shelters) for clients in real time.
Some examples
- AI summarizes an hour visit into a clean case note in 2 minutes.
- AI flags risk patterns (increasing missed appointments, etc.) in a caseload.
- AI searches local nonprofit databases for a family needing housing.
- AI translates a meeting in real time for non-English-speaking clients.
Try it!
Search for one AI tool used in nonprofit casework. Note what it does and one bias risk it might have.
