However, this change is not a disadvantage, nor is it necessarily harmful. In fact, the outlook regarding AI\u2019s influence on the PR industry is quite positive for organizations, brands, clients, and audiences.<\/p>\n
A recent Deloitte study found that one in three Portuguese people (28%) regularly uses\u2014that is, at least once a week\u2014artificial intelligence tools, and that 60% say they are familiar with at least one AI tool.<\/p>\n
The analysis reveals that nearly 40% used these tools for professional reasons, and among the professionals who have used this technology, 28% believe their employer would approve of its use.<\/p>\n
And two out of every five (40%) users are willing to pay for an AI tool so they can provide faster responses and be more available for tasks that require human intervention.<\/p>\n
And it is the greater scope it offers for what it means to be human\u2014creativity, the association of ideas, and the connection of people and events\u2014that is the greatest strength of this technology.<\/p>\n

As a result, this type of technology gives professionals more time to develop new skills or strengthen existing ones, such as critical thinking, adaptability, editing, and storytelling.<\/p>\n AI tools for PR are becoming increasingly important due to their practical applications.

It\u2019s an extra step, but one that saves valuable time in the long run.<\/p>\n Despite some difficulties that may arise, the use of AI in PR should make work more efficient, leading to increased productivity and effectiveness, faster and easier research, automated content creation, and data-driven insights.<\/p>\n Technological growth will continue, and the public relations industry and its professionals must develop their own unique approaches and strategies to stay at the forefront.<\/p>\n These strategies must be based on solid data, adhere to ethical guidelines, and be executed with rigor and delivered with innovation\u2014combining human creativity with the support of AI.<\/p>\n To achieve better results, lower costs, a higher return on investment, and exponentially greater customer satisfaction. <\/p>\n
