Is AI A-OK for PR today?

The impact of AI on the PR sector is a hot topic right now. It's so hot that PR software solutions are rushing to incorporate it into their software, hoping they can win early adopters of the technology and retain their existing client base, but are they going too soon?

PR for VC

The recent machinations of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter should act as a cautionary tale for Venture Capitalists. A man hoisted high by the media as a ‘genius’ for more than a decade is now widely viewed as the ‘barbarian at the gates.
