Kerry Sheehan is CIPR's AIinPR Chair and has been talking across the world about 'the PR industry is sleep walking into AI", in other words, it doesn't have a clue!

In this episode I put on my geeky hat (worn most days) to chat in simple terms about what AI is, what it can do for businesses and what PR practitioners need to be thinking about in terms of upskilling to keep up-to-date with the fast pace we're moving at.

Both Paul and I were 'brought up' in integrated public relations. It's always been the norm.

As the PESO model was much discussed a number of years ago, the PR industry has been slow to adapt, modernise and it lacks the diversity of thinking and skills (as well as its people), which would enable it to stand up to the big brother, marketing function.

In addition, I wanted to ask Paul why in his last podcast, Gini from Spin Sucks, thought PR was dying, according to a recent report in the US.

The final event in the DRIVEN Series and the launch of the DRIVEN Pledge!

The podcast dives straight into conversation with panellists, Melissa Lawrence, CEO of Taylor Bennett Foundation, Francis Ingham, Director General of PRCA, Jenni Field, President of CIPR and Alastair McCapra, CEO of CIPR. The discussion is around accountability. It's all very well having pledges and reports, but who will be held to account, how, and what processes are in place? Thanks to Rax Lakhani for agreeing to ask the questions, sourced from the PR community.

A video of the event is also available on PRFest's YouTube channel and information on the pledge is available at www.prfest.co.uk
