#158 AI is here, and this is what internal comms needs to know (and do) (ft. Dan Sodergren)


Listen Later

If you work in internal communications, you’ve probably wondered: is AI coming for my job?

In this thought-provoking episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast, we speak with futurist, author and media commentator Dan Sodergren about what artificial intelligence really means for internal communicators and why this moment represents both risk and extraordinary opportunity.

Dan shares insights from more than two decades at the intersection of technology, workplace culture and human potential. From the rise of shadow AI to the dangers hidden inside poorly understood AI policies, he challenges communicators to think bigger, act braver and step into a more strategic role.

Together, they explore:

  • Why AI isn’t new — but its adoption curve is unprecedented
  • How internal comms could be amalgamated, evolved or elevated
  • The critical importance of training, trust and transparency
  • Why emotional intelligence will outlast artificial intelligence
  • And how communicators can move from content creators to culture architects

This episode is candid, energetic and at times confronting (with a tonne of insights, regardless) but ultimately, empowering. AI may automate the grunt work, but the human work, like the emotional intelligence, trust-building and change leadership are all more valuable than ever. That's where we come in.

Listen in to find out how.
