For public communicators, the impact of AI-generated content is immediate. Public trust can be undermined before you've even had time to fact-check something. The media may amplify falsehoods, and suddenly you're on the back foot.
This is why awareness and preparation is essential. This is not a technical deep dive into AI coding—it's practical guidance for PIOs who need to spot, verify, and respond to AI-generated threats.
The Speed of Change
AI technology moves incredibly fast. Any training on this topic has to be constantly updated because the landscape changes month to month. What matters is building the skills and mindset to adapt, not memorizing specific tools that may change.
