Comms professionals are feeling uneasy about AI. For some, the ease with which it generates content raises questions about the future of communication roles. While most communicators now use it regularly for drafting messages, creating images and brainstorming, the real opportunity lies beyond. To stay irreplaceable we need a bigger shift: from using AI tactically to using it strategically.
