We did not find major differences across foundations based on their geographic location, though there were differences found based on their mission and values. Feminist and social justice funders in the Global South demonstrated more skepticism than others. Even in seemingly benign or straightforward applications, AI systems demonstrate unpredictable behavior, leading to most foundations proceeding with caution. The rapid pace of AI has meant that formal AI policies are rare, though foundations align on some common “red lines” that guide internal use of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f5ec370ff196925ca69dc/1765882461175-6O7QO5NAQUVRIBHJXJBA/Screenshot%2525252B2025-12-11%2525252Bat%2525252B4.56.39%25252525E2%2525252580%25252525AFPM.png Our Insights Foundations often struggle to connect what they're learning from individual grants to insights across a portfolio. Data too often remains siloed. This practice paper, developed with Fondation Botnar, explores an approach that enables more granular learning to feed into portfolio synthesis, without flattening the complexity of what's happening in each context. We introduce three techniques - theory modularity, fractals, and knitting- and share lessons from applying them across a diverse urban transformation portfolio.

Leaders are awash in pitches for AI solutions, but don't have the technical expertise to vet them. This assessment tool gives decision makers a structured way to evaluate AI vendors, covering everything from lock-ins, hallucinations, risk and data governance.

We’re particularly keen to know how others are navigating the tension in systems practice between transformative ambitions and concrete realities, between the need for quick wins and playing the long game. Whether you’re a seasoned systems practitioner or just beginning to explore these approaches, let us know if you’ve got a question or a contribution you’d like to add. https://www.revolution-impact.org/archetypes-of-ai-adoption daily 0.75 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f5ec370ff196925ca69dc/c1717b9b-0e1f-45cc-a210-5d31aa22e1c8/Screenshot+2026-04-08+at+4.36.12%E2%80%AFPM.png https://www.revolution-impact.org/archetypes-of-ai-adoption-1 daily 0.75 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f5ec370ff196925ca69dc/8ab6f1ed-d67b-46fa-adc5-507d2e840cff/Screenshot+2025-05-22+at+12.06.00%E2%80%AFPM.png
