Report: Artificial Intelligence in Crisis Response: Perspectives from Communication Experts

"Artificial Intelligence in Crisis Response: Perspectives from Communication Experts" is now available!

The report analyses how AI is changing risk, crisis, and emergency communication worldwide.🌍

Key insights include:

• Practical AI applications in crisis management

• The benefits and challenges of integrating AI into communication strategies

• Perspectives on AI across different experience levels and sectors

• Geographical insights into AI adoption and attitudes

• The critical need for education and understanding of AI in our field

The report is based on a survey of 84 professionals from around the world, offering diverse experiences and perspectives.

The survey found a major obstacle to using AI in crisis communication: people don't understand its benefits or how to use it effectively.

This barrier affects both newcomers and experienced professionals with over twenty years of experience.

As one participant from the United Kingdom with 11–20 years of experience in the public/government sector, aptly put it:

And that is exactly why my focus, as a consultant and professional trainer, will be to create e-learning courses and educational tools for crisis, risk, and emergency communication professionals in 2024. (More on this soon.)
