As AI reshapes how organizations operate, new leadership roles are emerging dedicated to AI comms—roles that can translate complexity, build trust, align departments, help shape the narrative around AI and sometimes even inform AI strategy. In this panel, you’ll hear from comms leaders who’ve stepped into these roles or partnered closely with those who have—whether they’re supporting a CAIO, shaping employee comms around GenAI or helping to set or enforce policy and guardrails. You’ll learn:

  • What AI Comms Leaders Do: An overview of emerging responsibilities for comms leaders—from message ownership around internal AI adoption to prompt oversight and even cross-functional integration.
  • The Experience that Preps You: The backgrounds and skills that helped panelists succeed in their evolving roles where AI and comms meet.
  • Org Chart Alignment: Practical comms tips for partnering with IT, legal, HR and compliance teams to help launch and lead AI messaging and adoption.
  • Trust and Guardrails: How others are ensuring transparency, prompt libraries and human-in-the-loop safeguards—and how you can do the same.
  • Next Steps: Action items to embrace now so you can grow into evolving AI comms functions—or advise those who already hold those roles.
