Experts Matter. Find Yours.

Comms teams translate multi-disciplinary research into messaging that must withstand scrutiny. Deeper reasoning helps AI connect findings to real-world relevance, flag uncertainty, and maintain nuance instead of flattening meaning. The result is work that’s easier to defend with media, leadership, donors, and the public—when paired with expert verification.Learn more with our ExpertFile Spotlight titled: "ChatGPT-5.2 Now Achieves “Expert-Level” Performance — Is this the Holiday Gift Research Communications Professionals Needed?"CaptionResizeWrap TextRemove

AI is shifting expectations from “fast output” to defensible accuracy. Better reasoning means fewer errors in research summaries, policy briefs, and expert content—especially when you’re working from long PDFs, complex methods, or dense results. The new baseline is: clear claims, traceable sources, and human review before publishing.Learn more with our ExpertFile Spotlight titled: "ChatGPT-5.2 Now Achieves “Expert-Level” Performance — Is this the Holiday Gift Research Communications Professionals Needed?"CaptionResizeWrap TextRemove

AI is not just automating tasks. It is reshaping how decisions are structured across organizations. In many environments, AI systems determine what information is surfaced, how options are framed, and what outcomes are recommended.These systems are not neutral. They reflect the data they are trained on, the assumptions embedded in their design, and the incentives of the organizations deploying them.The more important issue is governance. Accuracy alone is not enough. Organizations need to understand how AI influences decisions and build oversight mechanisms that track those effects over time.As AI becomes more embedded in operations, the real shift is from human-led decisions supported by tools to environments where systems structure the decision space itself.

AI note taking tools have become the new meeting assistant. They can summarize discussions as well as pull out key action items or decisions from the meeting. These tools can allow everyone to participate in the discussion as well as increase accuracy and accountability. Notes and next steps can be shared instantly for review and help ensure everyone is on the same page. It can eliminate confusion that often happens when people walk away with different interpretations of what was decided. Regular users of AI note taking tools tend to stand out to leaders because they show up better prepared, organized and detail oriented. Managers value people who take initiative and work smarter to drive projects and initiatives forward.AI note taking can be a huge time saver but it works best when used intentionally. Like any AI generated content, notes should be reviewed and edited for accuracy before sharing with others. Context and tone can get lost in automation so the AI notes should be used in conjunction with your own insight and knowledge of the meeting/discussion.

Enterprise AI is moving out of isolated pilots and into core business functions. What has changed is the level of accountability. Leadership teams are no longer impressed by experimentation alone. They want to know whether AI is improving productivity, reducing cost or driving new revenue.The organizations that are getting it right are focusing on specific use cases and building around them rather than trying to transform everything at once. The real story right now is not about capability. It is about execution and whether companies can turn AI into measurable business value.

That’s a great question, and it’s one many businesses are wrestling with today. The reality isn’t about choosing one over the other, but about finding the right balance where human judgment and algorithms work together. Algorithms are great at spotting patterns in massive data sets, delivering speed, consistency, and automation for routine choices—things like pricing, logistics, and fraud detection. People bring context, ethics, and adaptability. We interpret nuance, weigh reputational risks, and make sense of unexpected events—things algorithms can’t fully capture. In my view, the best approach is to keep the human in the loop. I always recommend that businesses build decision-making systems where algorithms provide the best available evidence, and humans remain the sense-makers and ultimate decision owners. This creates a feedback loop—humans validate or override model outputs, and those insights can improve the models over time.

Digital Twins bring the world around us to life. First, we build digital avatars of real world buildings, objects, and even people. We integrate sensors, databases, AI agents, and user interfaces so that we can visualize and interact with the world around us more deeply. Through Digital Twins, we can plan and analyse using realistic visuals and natural language. We can predict and rehearse possible futures. At LSU we're using Digital Twins to help NASA build the rockets that are taking us back to the Moon, to inform decision making about coastal flooding, and to help LSU Athletics predict injuries and accurately access recovery.

AI governance should be approached as a core function of how an organization operates. It cannot be added after systems are deployed.The starting point is clarity. Organizations need to define who is accountable for decisions made by AI systems, how those decisions are reviewed, and what processes exist for escalation.Effective governance also requires visibility. Leaders need insight into how systems are functioning in real-world contexts, not just in controlled environments.Finally, governance must be cross-functional. AI impacts multiple parts of the organization, so oversight cannot sit within a single team.
