AI is giving PR a bigger creative role
A few months ago, social feeds overflowed with selfies re-imagined as dreamy Studio Ghibli cartoons. Millions of people produced and shared these images in hours, without design teams or media budgets. That 'Ghiblification' wave showed how culture moves at a pace traditional workflows cannot match. For communicators, the question is no longer whether artificial intelligence (AI) matters, but how fast we can fold it into the craft without letting go of human intelligence that makes ideas resonate. PR has always thrived on spotting tension, shaping narrative and delivering relevance in real time. What has changed is the gap between the spark of an idea and the moment it reaches an audience. Generative tools have bridged that gap. A single prompt can turn a headline into a storyboard. A quick voice-clone can place a familiar personality at the centre of an activation. AI not only removes the friction that previously slowed judgment; at times, it replaces judgement altogether. Culture travels at the speed of AI Consider how the Australian Northern Territory launched ChatNT to reframe the perception of their low travel season. The team trained a conversational bot on broadcaster Abbie Chatfield's speech patterns and regional travel data, then let visitors 'chat' with Abbie for bespoke itineraries. This approach worked because it solved a real tension – travellers' doubts about holidaying in tropical heat – while delivering service in a voice people already trusted. Web dwell time surged and intent to book rose, proving that a smart AI layer can convert curiosity into action when the story feels personal. Another example comes from Lenovo's Meet Your Digital Self initiative. Life-size avatars built from volunteers' social footprints invited families to talk with a mirror image of their online persona. The experience turned abstract worries about digital identity, into a tangible moment that earned headlines across tech, health and lifestyle media. The lesson is not the novelty of the software, but the clarity of the insight: people struggle to bridge the gap between real and online selves, and an AI-enabled demo made that struggle visible. Both cases follow the same sequence. First, isolate a tension that matters to a defined community. Next, prototype a creative answer at speed. Finally, let audiences experience the answer before the conversation moves on. AI supplies the mechanics; emotional intelligence supplies the meaning. Ideas move from spark to impact in a single sprint Speed by itself is meaningless if the work misses the mark. That is why the most effective teams pair generative creativity with fast, accurate audience insight. Within HAVAS, the Converged operating system does exactly that by drawing together first-party data and large-scale research signals in a single interface. A planner can pull a persona such as 'UAE professionals who value work-life balance and follow tech founders on LinkedIn' in seconds, test two headline options, and watch predicted reach and cost shift in real time. For PR leads, this means message testing happens during conception, not after launch, and the same dataset guides earned, paid and owned decisions. A streamlined workflow brings two benefits. The obvious gain is time: campaigns that once took weeks to move from concept deck to market now accelerate in days. The deeper gain is confidence. Legal and corporate-affairs teams can see every data source used to build a persona and approve language before it goes public, reducing the last-minute edits that drain momentum from bold ideas. Yet none of this diminishes the need for human craft. AI cannot read a room, sense cultural fatigue or decide when silence is wiser than speech. Audiences still judge authenticity by tone, context and timing. A generative image may catch the eye, but it is the nuanced message behind that image that earns trust. The future of PR is not about turning communicators into coders. It is about equipping communicators with faster tools while preserving the discretion that guides when to use them. Meaningful progress demands ambition and responsibility AI is powerful, but it is also fallible. Algorithms inherit the blind spots of their training data, so unchecked output can reinforce stereotypes or silence voices. Bias tests, diverse review panels and clear opt-out paths are practical safeguards, yet accountability always rests with the people who deploy the tool, not the code itself. With those guardrails in place, artificial intelligence removes the ceiling on what communicators can imagine and deliver. We shift from storytellers who merely pitch ideas to partners who can prototype, test and launch them in a single sprint. The brief is simple: stay curious about AI, anchor every use case in human tension and let empathy guide each decision. AI is not replacing us; it is handing us a wider canvas, a shorter path from insight to influence, and a stronger voice in shaping culture. The advantage belongs to the teams ready to claim that canvas before someone else does. By Palak Mehta, Communications Director, HAVAS Red Middle East.

Qlik Trust Score for AI Now Available in Talend Cloud
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » Qlik Trust Score for AI Now Available in Talend Cloud Qlik®, a global in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, has announced the general availability of Qlik Trust Score™ for AI. This innovation is now included within Qlik Talend Cloud®. It helps organizations assess whether data is truly ready for AI before it reaches a model. The Qlik Trust Score for AI introduces purpose-built scoring across AI-specific dimensions. It is designed to help companies establish strong data foundations for responsible and scalable AI. As AI adoption grows, many businesses face a critical challenge they don't know if the data feeding their models is trustworthy. Qlik's solution addresses this by offering a single, intuitive score that reveals where data trust breaks down. This helps prevent bias, drift, and faulty outcomes. Drew Clarke, EVP of Product and Technology at Qlik, stated, 'Most companies still treat data trust like an IT hygiene issue. It's not. It's the foundation of every AI decision a business makes.' He added that without the ability to measure trust, organizations are gambling with outcomes, compliance, and customer experience. The Qlik Trust Score for AI provides a real-time signal that data is fit for purpose. This tool builds on Qlik's existing Trust Score framework with three new AI-focused dimensions: Diversity: Measures representativeness and balance to reduce training bias. Timeliness: Assesses freshness of data for relevant decision-making. Accuracy: Flags values that break business rules or lack reliability. These features combine with metrics like Discoverability and Usage. The solution supports AI training, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and intelligent automation. Security and LLM Readiness metrics are expected in future updates. Qlik also revealed plans for Trust Score historization, enabling users to track trends over time. This helps correlate trust shifts with issues like model drift or performance drops. In addition, Qlik reported an early access program for an AI-native Data Stewardship experience in Qlik Talend Cloud. Launching this fall, the feature aims to detect and resolve data issues earlier. It will include automated rules, human-in-the-loop workflows, and platform-wide governance. Ritu Jyoti, Group VP/GM at IDC, noted that many AI initiatives fail because of untrustworthy data. 'Without visible metrics for data trust, organizations risk costly failures and stalled adoption,' she said. Charles Link, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Reworld, emphasized that trust in data is critical. 'The hardest part of AI is rarely the model. It's trusting the data behind it,' he said. A recent Qlik survey revealed only 42% of executives fully trust AI-generated insights, despite nearly 90% seeing AI as vital to their strategy. Qlik Trust Score for AI helps bridge this trust gap with an objective and repeatable framework. It aligns with emerging governance standards. Qlik is the first to deliver a unified, AI-specific trust signal directly into the data pipeline. It integrates measurement, monitoring, and remediation in one platform. The feature is now generally available for Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition customers.
