According to a study conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and The Boston Consulting Group, three-quarters of executives believe that artificial intelligence (AI) will enable their companies to move into new businesses, and roughly 85% believe AI will allow their companies to obtain or sustain a competitive advantage. At noon ET on Thursday, June 20, a panel of Fellows from the International Association of Business Communicators will look at how AI is maturing and what it means to your company and communication practice.

Four IABC Fellows — Roger D’Aprix, Amanda Hamilton-Attwell, Mary Hills, and Ned Lundquist — gathered for a conversation about the issues facing communicators as AI continues to evolve.
