Navigating the AI Wild West for Communicators
AI is not simply an IT issue. Municipal communicators have an important role to play in managing organizational change, setting clear expectations, and helping their organizations use AI strategically while maintaining public trust. During this practical session, participants will explore:
- What current research tells us about municipal AI use
- The communicator’s role in AI governance and organizational change
- Strategies for collaborating more effectively with IT, HR, Legal and senior leaders
- Practical guides and frameworks that can build staff confidence
- Ways to balance opportunities with privacy, reputational and operational risks
- Examples, tools and lessons learned from other organizations
Participants will leave with practical ideas and strategies to help their municipalities open conversations about AI, support responsible adoption, and protect public trust.
