“AI has so far been used in commercial and manufacturing areas… but the latest disruptive developments make one fear that the space for humans may be shrinking,” writes HAI.
The Rome-based foundation notes that just like in other professions, AI is a defining moment for communications.
“The current revolution is such a great opportunity for the entire communication sector that we have to ask: Is it possible to think about AI that is also useful for the third sector and institutional communication?” HAI poses, and adds, “This question will be answered by the experts involved.”
The February 10 seminar at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome is to be facilitated by digital and data experts.
The day has been divided into three working sessions, in which three specialists are to address different aspects of how AI can impact and be a useful tool for communication.
The seminar is aimed at professionals who work or intend to work in digital communication of non-profit institutions and entities. These include non-profit organizations, universities, educational centers, cultural, social, and religious institutions, and public service institutions, among others.
HAI is a non-profit, world-wide solidarity initiative "to benefit Africa", according to information on the foundation's website.
