RESOURCES FOR THE ARTS

The Rozsa Foundation is committed to providing the Alberta arts community with resources to support their work. These range from resources created and provided by the Foundation as well as those we have compiled from external sources.

The Rozsa Foundation is compiling links for the most helpful resources we have come across into the following categories:

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence Framework for an Equitable World

Artificial intelligence technologies have been in the news for some time, often with sensational stories of incredible promises, disastrous impact, or even world-ending doom. In 2023, NTEN and our partners at Institute For the Future began a community process to convene dozens of people from diverse nonprofit missions, foundations, technology companies, and nonprofit advisors. Through this community process, we surfaced a few key points:

  1. Everyone, regardless of their work or organization, has the responsibility to understand how to build or use AI tools.

  2. Real harm comes from how AI technologies are currently built and applied to our missions, which we need to understand and be accountable for.

  3. Contemplating the creation or use of AI tools is complex, and we benefit from taking complex approaches to those considerations.

https://www.nten.org/publications/artificial-intelligence-framework-for-an-equitable-world
Canadian government policies on AI

The proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), introduced as part of the Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022, would set the foundation for the responsible design, development and deployment of AI systems that impact the lives of Canadians.

The Act would ensure that AI systems deployed in Canada are safe and non-discriminatory and would hold businesses accountable for how they develop and use these technologies.

https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/innovation-better-canada/en/artificial-intelligence-and-data-act
Fairly Trained

Fairly Trained exists to make it clear which companies take a more consent-based approach to training, and are therefore treating creators more fairly.

https://www.fairlytrained.org/
Glaze

Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style. For example, human eyes might find a glazed charcoal portrait with a realism style to be unchanged, but an AI model might see the glazed version as a modern abstract style, a la Jackson Pollock. So when someone then prompts the model to generate art mimicking the charcoal artist, they will get something quite different from what they expected.

Credo23

The CREDO 23 stamp on a project assures the audience of certain standards.

https://credo23.com/AIINFILM
Know Thyself As a Visual Reality

Know Thyself as a Virtual Reality is an interdisciplinary project that focuses on the ethics and aesthetics of the use of medical data and virtual reality. In order to explore this field, we have assembled a skilled and diverse team from across the University of Alberta as well as from other Canadian and international universities, bringing together expertise in medical imaging, health law, software development, biomedical engineering, virtual narratives, sound, the history of medicine, and artistic creation. This collaborative team will explore, create, disseminate and share ideas about cutting edge technologies that produce bodies in virtual and augmented reality.

https://www.knowthyself.ualberta.ca/
Ethically Aligned AI

Ethically Aligned AI loves to share stories and information about AI ethics. Creating video, podcast, articles and academic work is part of their bigger mission to educate everyone about these issues.

Board and Governance

To help your nonprofit thrive, IntegralOrg offers workshops in governance, strategy, fundraising, leadership, finance, risk management, and legal issues.
https://integralorg.ca/attend-an-event/
Performance Excellence Through Cognitive Diversity in the Boardroom
Diversity of thought is implicit and omnipresent and is directly corelated to the dynamics of difference within a group. On any given day, teams are tasked with problem solving and they must tap into their mental diversity framework, which helps them define, analyze, assess risks, review processes, and ultimately have a positive outcome. Our life experience, history, genetics, and socioeconomic status all contribute to this framework. To achieve performance excellence, organizations must move away from the monocultural environment.
https://charityvillage.com/performance-excellence-through-cognitive-diversity-in-the-boardroom/
Five Good Ideas for aspiring board directors
Boards and directors are coming under increased pressure to be “on top of their game.” This involves a clear understanding of their fiduciary duty and duty of care, the foundational elements of good governance. In addition, modern governance involves a commitment to EDI and ESG – and ensuring that these principles are included in their governance structure. All this while continuing their responsibilities of oversight in regards to sustaining the long-term viability of the organization, and the monitoring of risks the organization faces. Richard Powers, Associate Professor at the Rotman School of Management, presents his five good ideas on how new and seasoned board directors can better manage their roles and contribute in a more meaningful way to the organizations they represent

Reimagining Governance
An initiative exploring new approaches to governance for nonprofits. Complex times offer opportunity. When it comes to nonprofit governance, we need to be visionary.

Recruiting for Board Diversity
As a Black man who has worked with or for nonprofits for most of my career, I’ve become very familiar with how nonprofit boards recruit for board diversity; by my count, I have been actively recruited by the boards of 13 organizations.
https://blog.boardsource.org/blog/recruiting-for-board-diversity-with-respect?fbclid=IwAR3ki53-Ps-L9kP2PGIYjRmalQ53TxN4MvnOYi64G6TTU3T7hSWhQ-Ckl3M

Peering Into the Future

https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/mowatcentre/peering-into-the-future/
The Default Nonprofit Board Model is Archaic and Toxic
We have been in denial about the destructiveness of our sector’s default board model. Over the years, we have developed a learned helplessness, thinking that this model is the only one we have. So we put up with it, grumbling to our colleagues and working to mitigate our challenges, for instance figuring out ways to bring good board members on to neutralize bad ones or having more trainings or meetings to increase “board engagement.”
https://nonprofitaf.com/2020/07/the-default-nonprofit-board-model-is-archaic-and-toxic-lets-try-some-new-models/
Equity, Power and the Future of the Nonprofit Sector
These are complex times that are shrinking or stretching resources, challenging organizations to do things differently, and presenting opportunities for innovation. Nonprofit leaders are beginning to see that the governance of organizations sits within a larger context of equity, power, and the future of the nonprofit sector. Nonprofit governance is not consistently meeting the needs of the sector and needs to be reimagined – but how do we get there?
