The panel will focus on the evolving legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on public relations, business operations, and compliance.

As AI transform industries, businesses face increasing legal and regulatory challenges.

The event will bring public relations professionals, legal experts, and business leaders together to discuss AI’s role in communications, ethics, and risk management.
