2024 AI and Employee Communications Survey Findings Released

Fellow communications professionals, with demands increasing and bandwidths contracting for communicators, Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a more critical tool for us. University of Missouri Professor of Strategic Communication John Stemmle and I just released a new 2024 survey report, “Artificial Intelligence and Employee Communication Survey Data Report,” unveiling key insights into the transformative impact of AI in our field.

In the last nine months, AI has evolved from infancy to adolescence, presenting challenges and opportunities. Our survey shows that 93% of professionals see AI as a crucial new skill set, with 73% recognizing the need for robust change management to fully actualize the AI skills gained.

This symbiotic relationship between Generative AI and change management offers unprecedented opportunities to drive business performance and elevate communicators’ influence strategically.
