36 – Alex Sevigny on Why Communicators Should Be at the Forefront of the AI Revolution PodCatalyst: The Official Podcast of IABC
-
- Business
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) remains one of the
hottest topics of 2023 and is changing the way businesses think about content
creation. Who better, Alex Sevigny argues, than the communicator to lead this
charge?
Long before it was trending, Sevigny, an associate professor
at McMaster University, has been interested in the power of AI and how
communicators can harness its power. In this episode of PodCatalyst, he sits
down with IABC Executive Director Peter Finn to discuss how AI can help PR scale,
the power of quantifying a digital life, training opportunities and gaps left
by AI, what the next generation of communicators need to learn and more.
Sevigny will be part of a panel, “Generative Artificial
Intelligence: The Communicator’s New Best Friend?” at IABC World Conference 2023, 4-7 June in
Toronto. Tune in today for a preview of this can’t-miss discussion.
