PR teams are using AI to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Save time<\/strong>&nbsp;on research and content ideation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analyze sentiment<\/strong>&nbsp;across thousands of brand mentions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generate press release drafts<\/strong>&nbsp;and automate editing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uncover trends<\/strong>&nbsp;in customer feedback or media coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What used to take hours can now be done in minutes.

Tools like Prowly\u2019s AI can assist with brainstorming ideas, developing angles, and kickstarting content when you're feeling stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re writing a press release. Instead of drafting from scratch, just enter the key facts\u2014what happened, why it matters, and who it is for. In seconds, Prowly AI will generate a working first draft you can fine-tune and personalize for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not about replacing your ideas\u2014it\u2019s about accelerating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use case #2: Content creation with AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI that benefits from Natural Language Processing puts the power to quickly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-write-press-release-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generate press releases<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-reporting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PR reports<\/a> directly into your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI model may not be a match for human expertise. But it can significantly enhance human capabilities by helping create personalized content. Bear in mind that tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others use human data for training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, these tools improve because of their training, helping you create more effective content that lands nicely with your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\">Need help prompting?&nbsp;<a class=\"\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out our top ChatGPT prompts for PR pros<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use case #3: Speeding up research with AI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research is a critical\u2014but often time-consuming\u2014part of PR work.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/best-ai-marketing-tools\/\">AI-powered tools<\/a>&nbsp;can help you gather background info, track competitor activity, or dig up relevant media stories in seconds instead of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though ChatGPT is helpful for structuring information or summarizing sources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chatbase.co\/blog\/is-chatgpt-accurate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it\u2019s not always up to date<\/a>.

But analyzing hundreds of social media posts at once with AI can help you uncover trends and understand what people are saying, where, and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, it can help you find sudden spikes in negative mentions, so you can prevent crises before they become&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>&nbsp;bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use case #5: AI assistance in reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of using AI for public relations wouldn't be complete if we left out reporting.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/best-ai-tools-for-pr\/\">AI-powered tools<\/a>&nbsp;can act as virtual assistants to help&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-report-examples\/\">show the value of your work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI technology helps by providing the raw data and sentiment analysis needed to link sales results with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/earned-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earned media<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also provides historical data analysis, tracks market trends, and measures the performance of PR communication campaigns over time to help secure future budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-artificial-intelligence-in-public-relations\">Benefits of Artificial Intelligence in Public Relations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/State-of-PR-2023-Biggest-Perks-1024x676.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22150\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/go.prowly.com\/hubfs\/State-of-PR-Technology-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, onto the good stuff. When it comes to public relations and technology, we're always looking for those little quality-of-life perks. Machine learning tools are no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform tasks such as sentiment analysis and keeping track of social media is the essence of AI PR. AI public relations should make our work more efficient and free PR pros up for more creative work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let's take a closer look at how PR pros are profiting from AI in communication today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Smarter media monitoring, stronger reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI\u2019s greatest strength in PR? Turning noise into insight. According to our survey,&nbsp;<strong>27.9% of PR pros<\/strong>&nbsp;use AI for enhanced <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-do-media-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media monitoring<\/a>, while&nbsp;<strong>27.5%<\/strong>&nbsp;rely on it for advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/measure-pr-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">measurements<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-reporting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI-powered tools can analyze thousands of <strong>social media mentions, news articles, and online conversations<\/strong> in real time\u2014something no human team could do manually. They extract meaningful patterns, perform sentiment analysis, and dig up the insights that matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? A powerful time-saver and decision-making asset. You spend less time digging through data and more time using it to shape campaigns, optimize strategy, and support budget proposals with hard numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group signup-cta-container has-base-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-49ae0d9a56cbc8d399bd51ae2a57e5ec has-global-padding\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#1f2937;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;padding-top:32px;padding-right:32px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:32px;background-position:100% 100%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:auto;\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-efe3489b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Prowly's media monitoring free for 7 days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start tracking your brand and keywords for free (no credit card required) in Prowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Comprehensive monitoring:<\/strong> Track the web and social media mentions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparent pricing:<\/strong>&nbsp;Plans start at $258\/month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-in-one platform:<\/strong> Get everything you need in one tool for PR, incl. media database, outreach, reporting, and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"signup-cta-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/media-monitoring\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/media-monitoring\/\" class=\"cta-button\" data-cta-type=\"media-monitoring\" data-cta-destination=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/media-monitoring\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2. Operational efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is helping PR pros get more done faster.&nbsp;<strong>61.4% of early adopters<\/strong>&nbsp;report increased efficiency, with&nbsp;<strong>76.6%<\/strong>&nbsp;using AI to automate repetitive tasks and free up time for strategic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also speeding up research for&nbsp;<strong>58.7%<\/strong>&nbsp;of users and boosting content creation and ideation for&nbsp;<strong>42.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less busywork. More brainwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3. Faster, smarter research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI tools are reshaping how PR pros gather insights. From monitoring media coverage to digging into competitor strategies,&nbsp;<strong>58.7%<\/strong>&nbsp;of professionals use AI to speed up research across platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of spending hours sifting through articles or social posts, you can now get instant summaries, trend overviews, and relevant data\u2014all with a single prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lets you move faster, act on real-time information, and stay ahead of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#4. Reduced costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI isn't just a time-saver\u2014it\u2019s a cost-saver too.&nbsp;<strong>43.5% of PR professionals<\/strong>&nbsp;say AI tools have helped cut business costs and resource needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By automating repetitive tasks, accelerating research, and streamlining content creation, AI reduces man hours and frees up teams to focus on high-value work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an industry where budgets are tight and expectations are high, that\u2019s a game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#5. Smarter content creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is becoming a creative ally for PR teams.&nbsp;<strong>42.2% of professionals<\/strong>&nbsp;already use it to enhance their content\u2014from writing personalized messages to generating social media posts and brand storytelling ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a fast, flexible way to go from concept to first draft. But while AI can kickstart the process, human insight is still essential for adding nuance, creativity, and that final polish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\"><strong>Example: Creating a press release with Prowly AI<\/strong><br>Say you\u2019ve just finalized a product launch. Instead of staring at a blank page, you open <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/ai-pr-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prowly AI<\/a>, fill in a few key details\u2014what\u2019s new, why it matters, and who it is for\u2014and the tool generates a complete press release draft in seconds.

From misinformation risks to data security and algorithmic bias, PR teams need to use AI tools responsibly and transparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research confirms that ethical concerns aren\u2019t hypothetical. In fact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>63.9%<\/strong>&nbsp;of PR pros worry about fake news and content manipulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>37.8%<\/strong>&nbsp;cite data privacy and cybersecurity as major issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>32.8%<\/strong>&nbsp;are concerned about AI-generated bias<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These concerns are real\u2014and ignoring them could damage client trust, brand reputation, or even result in legal trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just some of the things to keep in mind when using AI in public relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. A commitment to accuracy: double-check everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In PR, credibility is non-negotiable. So it\u2019s no surprise that&nbsp;<strong>63.9% of professionals<\/strong>&nbsp;name misinformation\u2014like&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/artificial-intelligence-hallucination-chatbots-chatgpt-falsehoods-ac4672c5b06e6f91050aa46ee731bcf4\">AI-generated fake news<\/a>&nbsp;or manipulated media\u2014as one of their top concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI can produce content that sounds confident but isn\u2019t always correct. Known as \"hallucinations,\" these errors can sneak into press releases, pitches, or reports\u2014damaging trust and sparking unwanted crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fix?&nbsp;<strong>Always verify facts, quotes, and data<\/strong>&nbsp;before publishing AI-generated content. It\u2019s one extra step, but far less costly than issuing a public correction later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can speed things up\u2014but human oversight is what keeps it credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Protect sensitive data: use AI responsibly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>37.8%<\/strong>&nbsp;of PR pros say cybersecurity and privacy are top concerns when using AI tools\u2014and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and others often use input data to train future models. That means anything you type\u2014campaign briefs, client names, unpublished strategies\u2014could unintentionally end up in someone else's output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just ask&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-05-02\/samsung-bans-chatgpt-and-other-generative-ai-use-by-staff-after-leak?\">Samsung<\/a>, which accidentally leaked sensitive code through an AI chatbot.

And that perception can damage credibility\u2014not just with audiences, but with clients and colleagues, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prcouncil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-Council-Guidelines-on-Generative-AI-042423.pdf\">PR Council<\/a>&nbsp;recommends openly stating when generative AI tools are used in the creative process.

Use diverse training data: evaluate AI for biases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI tools learn from human behavior\u2014and that includes our blind spots. This can lead to biased language, underrepresentation, or culturally insensitive content in both text and visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For PR professionals, this isn\u2019t a minor flaw\u2014it\u2019s a brand risk. In fact,&nbsp;<strong>32.8% of our respondents<\/strong>&nbsp;list AI bias as a top concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-crisis-management\/\">To prevent a public relations AI-related crisis<\/a>, don\u2019t rely on a single AI tool. Compare outputs from platforms like&nbsp;<strong>ChatGPT<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Claude<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Perplexity<\/strong>&nbsp;to spot inconsistencies or skewed messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember: AI should support, not replace, the value of diverse perspectives.

And those fears are valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While AI can generate ideas, headlines, even full press releases, it can\u2019t replicate empathy. It can\u2019t read a room, adapt to emotion, or build a meaningful relationship. That\u2019s still your job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best outcomes happen when humans and machines work together. Use AI to handle the heavy lifting\u2014then add your insight, experience, and voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI can support your storytelling.
