    Warning: this article and podcast contains references to suicide. How do you create a compelling Mental Health campaign?

Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.

  5. Will DeepSeek shake-up AI in PR? PRWeek podcast, with Omnicom PR Group

    Will DeepSeek shake-up AI in PR? PRWeek podcast, with Omnicom PR Group

    What does DeepSeek's dramatic entry to the AI market mean for the comms industry - and should PR professionals embrace the platform? PRWeek's Beyond the Noise podcast takes a look. The latest episode features guest Erin Lanuti, chief innovation officer at Omnicom PR Group (OPRG), who has been leading AI policy at the division whose agencies include Ketchum, FleishmanHillard, Porter Novelli and Portland. Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform. Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington, Lanuti gives her impression of the furore caused by the emergence of Deepseek, the Chinese company behind the new AI chatbot R1. President Trump described the emergence of DeepSeek, which is said to be built for a fraction of the cost of its AI rivals, as a ‘wake-up call’ for the US tech industry. DeepSeek shocked the financial markets and wiped billions off the share prices of US tech giants in late January as it became the most downloaded free app in the US in just a week. However, concerns remain about the distribution of mis- and disinformation via DeepSeek, and about censorship. Cybersecurity firm Wiz has also said a security breach had exposed one million users of the technology. Lanuti discusses the advantages and disadvantages of DeepSeek and expresses misgivings about how it could be used to spread false information. More generally, she discusses OPRG's AI strategy and whether the PR industry in general is doing enough to keep up to speed with the fast-moving technology. Lanuti also gives her predictions for AI for the year ahead - with one quirky prediction provided by her AI agent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  6. PR is crying out for AI training

    الحلقة ٩١

    PR is crying out for AI training

    How prepared is UK PR for the AI revolution? PRWeek’s latest Beyond the Noise podcast episode takes a look. Our guests this week have been looking at that question as part of a major study: Jo Sutherland, MD at comms agency Magenta Associates; and Dr Tanya Kant, senior lecturer in media and cultural studies (digital media) at the University of Sussex. Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform. Sutherland and Kant discuss the survey from last year of 1,100 UK-based content writers and managers working in PR, comms or marketing. The duo explain the background to the research and choose their top lessons from the study, which looks at what proportion of comms professionals are using AI, what they think of the tools, and how many have received training. The report – ‘CheatGPT? Generative text AI use in the UK’s PR and communications profession’ – also asks about ethical and legal concerns. Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington, our guests discuss the biggest barriers to AI success for comms professionals, including an apparent lack of sufficient training. They talk about upcoming regulations around the technology, the dangers of ‘AI fatigue’, and offer practical advice for PR professionals who want to get ahead. Sutherland also gives the lowdown on Magenta’s experience with AI – including how the agency secured money from the Government’s AI Upskilling fund, which covers 50 per cent of the PR firm’s AI training. This week’s episode is the second in a row on AI. Last week we spoke to Erin Lanuti, chief innovation officer at Omnicom PR Group, who discussed DeepSeek’s dramatic entry to the AI market and what it might mean for the comms industry.
