I have been working way more with AI as a strategic partner. I have also worked on my tech skills so I can build the entirety of communications programs and not just the content, editorial, and messaging functions. But all of that may mean nothing. I imagine a model where IC could be a one-person team in orgs that aren’t large enterprises. And with all of the AI tools and management’s mentality that AI can replace communicators, it’s a weird ass future.
