Field Poll: NOVA's Center for Responsible AI in Victim Services
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on using Artificial Intelligence in Victim Services. NOVA's upcoming initiative, the
Center for Responsible AI in Victim Services
, will serve as a centralized hub for tools, guidance, training, and emerging information related to artificial intelligence and the victim services field.
Rather than promoting or discouraging AI,
the Center will help the field ask better questions, identify risks and opportunities, and make informed decisions grounded in trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and human-centered advocacy values.
This poll will help us build resources the field can actually use.
