    Predictive vs Generative AI in Fundraising

    Have you ever considered what the bigger risk is? Adapting the wrong AI tool or waiting too long to get started?     Since predictive, generative, and agentic AI continue to alter how organizations operate, understanding how these different technologies complement one another is of utmost importance. This conversation revolves around the measurable impact of AI, while addressing concerns from making advanced analytics accessible to nonprofits of all sizes to using AI for smarter fundraising decisions. Join us and learn why incomplete or messy data shouldn’t stop you from using AI, how predictive AI uncovers opportunities, and why treating AI as a strategic capability rather than another tool can help organizations to enhance efficiency, increase revenue, and stay at the very top of an increasingly AI-driven world.    Our guest today is Judah Phillips, the Chief AI and Product Officer at Market Holdings LLC and the General Manager and co-founder of Squark AI, a no-code platform for predictive analytics, forecasting, and decision intelligence.

He is also the author of multiple books related to analytics, e-commerce, and AI. His work specializes in bridging AI strategy, commercialization, governance, investment, and community building to accelerate AI adoption.    In this conversation, Nathan and Judah mainly discuss the developing relationship between predictive, generative, and agentic AI and how it affects the fundraising landscape, also what the future holds for AI and why it’s important to build AI capabilities early on.   HIGHLIGHTS [01:23] Introduction and background to Judah Phillips.   [06:48] Judah’s journey on the development of Squark AI.   [20:46] Making sophisticated capabilities accessible to everyone, not just building models.   [25:52] Using predictive AI to solve real fundraising challenges.  [38:37] The future convergence of predictive AI, generative AI, and agentic AI.  [45:00] The importance of adopting an AI mindset before the technology moves too far ahead.
