🤖 F is for Fellow worker For me, AI is like having a trusted colleague by my side. Imagine the person in the office you would look up to and ask, “Do you know how to…?” or “What are your thoughts about…?” I use AI daily, at work and at home. It helps me find information, brainstorm, design processes, check my content, edit and more. But never use the output from AI in isolation – it’s always a support tool to help me develop engaging and inspiring content.

🤖 E is for Ethics AI has the potential to make our working lives more efficient, but it’s vital that its use is undertaken thoughtfully, equitably, inclusively and humanely. Address and identify ethical concerns, to both mitigate risk and make best use of all the opportunities AI offers. As communication executives, we must understand AI’s limitations and apply the necessary human oversight to ensure no harm is caused by its adoption.

🤖 D is for Detail Don’t talk to AI like a search engine. Tell them exactly who your audience is and who you want them to think like – is it a journalist? A marketing professional? An analyst? Be detailed. Remember you have choices, so pick the AI that suits your personality! They all have a different feel. I get on best with Anthropic’s Claude. The tone is closest to the way I naturally talk and write, which makes editing the answers easier.

🤖 C is for Caution and Control Embrace Al. However, tread with caution and be sensible with what you share and take control of it. Find the tools that work for you, especially when your lists can feel endless, so you can concentrate those precious work hours on results. If you’re unsure whether it is allowed in your workplace, or your work feels a little behind the times, start a conversation internally.

Age generalisations in the workplace persist, but our content and career choices are shaped more by our formative years than age alone. As communication styles evolve, businesses must find harmony between generations. From tone of voice to shifting mindsets, understanding these differences is key to keeping teams and workforces in tune with one another.
