Nonprofits exist to solve the hardest problems in society — homelessness, hunger, disease, injustice, education gaps, environmental collapse. The need is infinite. The resources are never enough. AI is the most powerful capacity multiplier in history, and most nonprofits are barely touching it. That has to change now.

The AI industry and the corporations adopting it are making a fundamental strategic error. In their rush to cut headcount and reduce costs, they are traumatising the workforce, destroying the creative capital that makes companies worth anything, and undermining the very consumer base that AI needs to have a future. Here is the case for a completely different direction.
