Join us for a cutting-edge exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the communication profession. Dr. Andrew Lang, Senior Professor and Chair of Computing & Mathematics at Oral Roberts University, will present where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed in the age of AI.

We’ll start with the origins of AI and how organizations have used data to anticipate outcomes. Then we’ll explore the present moment: the rise of AI productivity tools, the growing problem of “AI slop,” and how communicators can use technology without losing authenticity or trust. Finally, we’ll look ahead to what’s coming, a future where AI doesn’t just compute, it comprehends, forcing a realignment of human roles, responsibilities, and the creative process itself.

What You’ll Learn:

• From past to present: How predictive analytics evolved into generative AI and what that means for communicators today

• AI and productivity: How to stay efficient without falling into “AI slop”

• Authenticity and alignment: Techniques for preserving your organization’s unique voice in AI-assisted communication

• Preparing for the next shift: What happens when AI learns to sound human, and how professionals can realign to lead in that future

This isn’t about hype or fear; it’s about understanding the trajectory of change and learning how to stay meaningful in a world of intelligent systems.
