Senior corporate communications practitioner at a major tech firm navigating high-stakes AI discourse
Who this is not for
Entry-level comms staff, agency freelancers, or internal comms leads at non-tech firms without AI-facing exposure
What you walk away with
- Own final approval on all external AI narratives without requiring senior leadership re-review
- Deploy pre-vetted messaging frameworks for new AI features, incidents, and policy shifts
- Reduce message-to-release cycle from 5+ days to under 12 hours
- Establish standing alignment with legal and policy on boundaries and escalation thresholds
