Businesses are also changing \u2014 learning to act more quickly, support one another, and find greater meaning in what they do. Technology helps manage routine tasks when time and energy are in short supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2025, this shift will become even more visible. Donors and partners increasingly expect social enterprises to achieve their goals through digital tools. So, for entrepreneurs, the question is no longer whether they need AI \u2014 but how to integrate it into their work effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Global statistics confirm these trends:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/ai-for-impact-strengthening-ai-ecosystems-for-social-innovation\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">World Economic Forum (2024)<\/a>, more than 70% of social innovators are already using machine learning or other AI tools in areas such as healthcare and environmental protection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/statistics-explained\/SEPDF\/cache\/106920.pdf?utm_\">Eurostat<\/a> reports that in 2024 around 11% of small, 21% of medium-sized, and 41% of large enterprises across EU countries were already using AI technologies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.paypal-corp.com\/2025-10-28-OpenAI-and-PayPal-Team-Up-to-Power-Instant-Checkout-and-Agentic-Commerce-in-ChatGPT\">2025 PayPal survey<\/a> found that 82% of small business owners consider mastering AI to be critically important for maintaining competitiveness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>5 Ways Artificial Intelligence Supports Social Enterprises<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few key areas where AI technologies can make the biggest impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less Routine Work<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most social enterprises face a shortage of time and resources. AI can take over repetitive tasks \u2014 preparing reports, creating documents, processing applications. This kind of automation allows teams to free up valuable time from routine work and focus on developing programs or exploring new opportunities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better Communication with Communities and Partners<\/span><\/em><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> AI tools help create texts, visuals, and presentations faster \u2014 even without a large team. This saves time and enables stronger communication with donors, partners, and the wider community.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em>Analytics and Decision-Making<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social enterprises often handle large amounts of data, including survey results, project metrics, and client feedback. AI tools help identify patterns more quickly, evaluate program effectiveness, and plan next steps with greater confidence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Products and Business Models<\/span><\/em><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Technology opens up opportunities to create new services \u2014 online courses, community support platforms, and digital tools for social initiatives.

It doesn\u2019t replace people in social business; rather, it helps them organize processes, better understand community needs, and make decisions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>How Social Entrepreneurs Can Start Working with AI<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting started with AI in a social enterprise is easier than it seems. The key is not to try to cover everything at once, but to move step by step. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with one area that takes up the most time \u2014 reporting, information search, or content creation. Select a straightforward AI tool for the task and test it on a few examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social enterprises often work with personal data, so any implementation of technology must be done in a responsible manner. Identify what information can be entered into AI systems to avoid risks and maintain people\u2019s trust. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate every step of the integration process: what exactly has improved, and which tasks have become easier. This approach helps you understand which tools truly work and which ones are worth scaling up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology is evolving rapidly, and the only way to keep up is to continually learn and share experiences. Communities of social entrepreneurs, idea exchanges, trainings, and peer examples help discover solutions that truly work in real life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><b>The Platform for Social Change<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recognizes that artificial intelligence is more relevant than ever.
