About this webinar

AI is already changing what public affairs professionals spend their time on, and the debate about what comes next is just beginning. In this session, three practitioners take an honest look at the implications: which tasks are being automated, where human judgment remains irreplaceable, and what skills will matter most in the years ahead. Expect candid takes, practical examples, and a conversation about the future of the profession.
