Olga Shabaeva, Head of PR at Rabota.ru, shares her insights on the defining trend reshaping the PR industry — artificial intelligence. While AI has already transformed public relations, it brings both unprecedented opportunities and critical challenges that professionals must navigate carefully.
In recent years, the integration of AI tools has emerged as a dominant trend in PR, as well as nearly every other industry. Their impact is undeniable: they offer tremendous support for PR specialists and unlock countless new possibilities. But, as they say, the devil is in the details.
Today, nearly every PR professional actively uses ChatGPT and other neural networks for content generation, media monitoring and even personalized communications. Yet this trend also amplifies risks: from brands losing their "human touch" to ethical dilemmas surrounding information manipulation. PR teams must strike a careful balance, adopting these tools with both enthusiasm and caution. Additionally, the rise of AI demands heightened attention to fact-checking from anyone working in media.
That said, I firmly believe AI is the most transformative development our industry has seen in the past decade. These technologies will drive major breakthroughs for both journalists and PR professionals. The key is to embrace innovative tools — thoughtfully and strategically — starting now.
