Prospect Research is undergoing a seismic shift. With the rise of LLMs, AI agents, and predictive analytics, up to 70% of traditional research tasks—like donor profiling, wealth screening, and news monitoring—are now exposed to automation. But this isn’t a story of obsolescence. It’s a call to evolve. In this bold, future-facing session, we’ll explore how Prospect Research professionals can transition from data gatherers to AI-augmented strategists. Drawing on real-world examples, internal product roadmaps (like Agents for Good™️), and a JobsGPT exposure analysis, we’ll unpack:

• Which tasks are most exposed to LLM augmentation—and where human expertise still reigns
• How to reframe the role around strategic judgment, ethical oversight, and relationship intelligence
• What new titles like “Director of Philanthropic Intelligence” or “AI-Enabled Fundraising Strategist” signal about the profession’s future
• How to lead change management efforts that empower teams to adopt AI tools while preserving trust, nuance, and institutional memory Attendees will leave with a roadmap for evolving their own roles—and their teams—into the next era of prospect development.

Whether you’re excited or anxious about AI, this session will help you shape the future of your work before it shapes you.
