Three people on your team are already using AI. You know because you found out by accident — someone mentioned, mid-meeting, that they'd used it to draft a funder update, summarize the board package, or write last week's social caption. Nobody asked permission first. Nobody's tracking it. And you can't tell if that's fine or a problem, because nobody at your organization actually owns the answer either way.

That's the position most nonprofit leaders are in right now, whether they've said it out loud or not.
