When boos rang out about AI at SXSW (the most tech optimist gathering on the planet) it showed us that the birth of AI is the opposite of the birth of the internet 25 years ago, which helps us to see where public sentiment about AI is headed.
Last Spring at Austin’s South by Southwest (SXSW), several tech leaders extolled the virtues of AI and made positive predictions about how it...
The moment we surrendered our decisions to machines, something fundamental slipped from our grasp. What we once called human judgment – logic paired with intuition, emotion, and ethics – began to fade through quiet acquiescence. In rooms where leaders once debated the fate of nations, AI now whispers its recommendations, faster than human minds can process, more calculated than any collective...
I remember in late 2022 asking Chat GPT to help write a release. It was amazing. Not so much the quality – just the speed and organization.
Fast forward to today, and we have massively transcended that elementary use of Gen AI.
In today’s hyper-fast and brand-critical digital environment, organizations must respond to stakeholder inquiries with agility, navigate increasingly...
It is now more than two years since I first saw GPT-4 and had a mini crisis of faith in my career choices. In this new world, one I’d had the fortune of seeing early, what was the role for me, and for this communications industry I’ve loved and thrived in?

New research finds that AI adopters feel more valued and energized at work. By creating even stronger cultures of innovation, we can unlock the tremendous potential of this moment.
When generative AI burst into the public consciousness last year, the response was electric. Across the communications landscape, people were fascinated by the technology, but also fearful of what it could...
When we decided to partner with Microsoft once again and devote the entire Relevance Report to the topic of Artificial intelligence, I wondered if AI’s impact on communications, over the past 12 months, has been significant enough for us to develop 40 new pieces of content. Based on past experience, I questioned the PR industry’s appetite for early adoption of a new technology, especially one...
The entertainment industry is one of the most forward-looking. It's constantly seeking new ways to capture an audience and tell a story. With the creation of streaming media and artificial intelligence (AI), how Hollywood is telling its stories has become erratic. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) called this moment an “existential crisis”.
The WGA, the labor union to which most...
McKinsey predicts that generative AI will add “trillions of dollars in value to the global economy” thanks to productivity gains. Given the pace of adoption and projected value, it’s very likely most organizations will start...
