The philanthropic sector is undergoing a strategic shift, moving from a problem-solving orientation toward a “healing-centered” approach designed to address historical and intergenerational harm. This transition coincides with a massive influx of capital expected from high-profile technology IPOs, including SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, which could potentially add an estimated $37 billion to annual charitable giving.

In discussions at the 2026 KSoP Philanthropy Forum in Seoul, stakeholders addressed the integration of artificial intelligence within public interest activities. While AI is recognized for its ability to enhance fundraising, donor analysis, and assistance for people with disabilities, experts emphasized that technology cannot replace human empathy and ethical judgment. Concerns were also raised regarding the technological gap between large and small non-profit organizations and the necessity for ethical standards to protect human rights during automation.
