Jeff Hancock, an AI expert and Stanford University professor of communications, has signed on as senior advisor to the digital & insights unit practice within FTI Consulting’s PR group.
He’s the founding director of Stanford’s Social Media Lab, and a leading AI researcher on how people build trust, or undermine it, with technology.
His work has been published in more than 100 journal articles and conference proceedings, and supported by funding from the Pentagon and National Science Foundation.
For FTI, Hancock will help clients develop and enhance AI-based methodologies, reputation analytics, and capabilities regarding the identification and response to misinformation and disinformation.
Hancock’s “expertise and thought leadership will turbo-boost our AI offerings and advisory capabilities around bringing data and insights together to solve our clients’ most critical problems,” said Ant Moore, global co-leader of the digital & insights unit.
PR has more data than ever. The challenge now is turning it into clarity, context and better decisions.
For the first time, in-house teams and agencies have the opportunity not to just monitor narratives as they emerge, but to understand how they are forming.
Most conversations about AI search today focus on format: clear headers, simple definitions, easy-to-scan comparisons. That work matters, but it assumes the underlying content is still true. It often isn't.
Agencies are playing catch-up when it comes to drawing up the ground rules for AI. Getting up to speed starts with clearly defining how AI should be used.
The rapid growth of data centers across the United States is attracting attention and significant community concern. Aside from the heat of the debate, what does all that computing infrastructure actually do?
