Over the past year, sparkly new buttons have washed across the toolbars of our favorite apps like a technological tsunami. As applications updated on our devices, users witnessed the real-time rollout of AI integration interfaces, confirming the advent of the AI era. These integrations have made AI ubiquitous and are setting the stage for something even bigger in 2025: an era of automation....
Artificial Intelligence is the centerpiece of nearly every innovation action across the comms profession. Whether organizations are still actively engaged in “let’s find efficiencies” efforts or well into the “imagine if …” phase, the energy masks a larger truth: most organizations lack the internal mechanisms to truly embrace what AI offers.

I talked about the twenty-step journey that an earned media story takes in our organization and noted where there was opportunity for AI (and automation). Over the last year, we have been methodically building and applying AI...
