This edition of PR Futurist has a few more stories than usual. That's probably an indicator of just how fast things are moving at the moment in communication technology and AI. This is the short version, as we'd curated even more interesting stories (most of those you can see in the Flipboard edition).
What do you think is the most important story we've covered in this issue? Is it that AI is now 82% more persuasive than humans? Or is that AI means either eight million UK jobs are at risk or a £306 billion boost to the economy depending on how the UK handles it?
Or maybe it's that there is now an AI tool that can analyse a video of an interview or presentation to provide feedback and tips for improving it? An AI media trainer?
As always, we'd love to know what you think. And if you spot any interesting news or research that you think should be in the next issue of PR Futurist then let us know.

We're late because of Kate
The breaking news this morning was how the British Royal family has apparently used AI to manipulate a photograph of the Princess of Wales. I've fended off media requests to comment on this despite it covering my specialisms of both AI and crisis communications. I haven't commented as those I've heard commenting are mainly providing meaningless or inaccurate opinion as they don't know enough about what's actually happened.
What does the hive mind of PR Futurist readers think of Kensington Palace's response? Why did it take so long to respond? Is it really plausible that the Princess of Wales was simply having an "experiment with editing"?
Let us know what you think.

Manchester United and England star footballer Marcus Rashford has hit it into the back of the net when it comes to crisis communications. On Tuesday evening he tweeted that the political magazine The Spectator was set to run a story alleging he benefited commercially from his campaigning about free school meals and child poverty. It was a pre-emptive strike, a classic crisis communications technique to get ahead of the story.
