I had a blast with Justin Then at the PRovoke Asia-Pacific Summit yesterday. We went on stage to discuss a hot topic for every PR agency: how Generative AI is impacting the communications industry.
The audience included leaders from top PR agencies in the region. During a quick show of hands, nearly half had used Generative AI in the past 24 hours for work.
This is promising and it's only a matter of time before every PR professional uses Gen AI daily.
Justin and I expounded on questions like:
- How will Generative AI change the value of PR work in terms of quantity and quality?
- Is using Gen AI to write a press release considered "cheating"?
- How should PR agencies respond when clients question their use of Gen AI?
- Will companies still need PR agencies if Gen AI can create press releases with just a few data points?
I was glad to meet several friends at the event - James Brasher, Emily Poon, Adeline Phun, David Lian, Paul Mottram, Christabel Lim. I also made new friends like Claire Wong, Jeanette Tan and Jonathan Ha.
Thank you to Justin Then, Adeline Lee, and Tiffany Chow from Hill and Knowlton for this opportunity!
