Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of modern PR. Tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, Lumen5, and Canva AI help optimize routine processes, create content, forecast campaign effectiveness, and personalize communications.
PR professionals are no longer limited to manually writing press releases or preparing media content — AI can generate texts, scripts, social posts, analytical reports, and even crisis communication ideas.
Why AI Matters in PR
  1. Work Acceleration: Fast text creation and content adaptation for multiple channels.
  2. Personalization: AI segments audiences and crafts unique messages for each segment.
  3. Analytics & Forecasting: Algorithms analyze audience reactions, media coverage, and campaign effectiveness.
