As February turns to March, it is time to wrap up the learnings and insights from the Responsible Communications – Ethics First 2025 activities.

This month, we have discussed the growing role of communications leaders and the new leadership responsibilities that we are expected to embrace. What is the role of communication leaders in questions related to sustainability, the environment, and broader social issues? How can we help our societies strive for democracy, stability, and enhance trust? In the discussions it was highlighted that the enhanced Chief Communication Officer role with the new expectations is there for us to take; it will require curiosity for learning new things, willingness to work close to business and decision makers to gain deeper understanding of the business. We must also advance our leadership and consultancy skills to solidify our role as true strategic business partners.

The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management has partnered with member organizations — Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence (CSCE) and Reputation Lighthouse — on a Responsible AI survey to better understand the AI evolution as it pertains to the Public Relations and Communication profession.

We want to uncover how professionals are addressing ethical and responsible AI, as well as benchmark professional insights and influence. This information will be used to prepare for the Global Alliance AI Symposium to be held in May in Venice in conjunction with the Global Alliance’s Annual General Meeting and European Regional Council Meeting. Based on this survey data and the AI Symposium, we will update the Global Alliance’s Guiding Principles for Ethical and Responsible AI and connect the dots to the Global Alliance’s Responsible Communication Movement. So, this is your opportunity to have a voice in this important advocacy for our profession.
