? “So, how are?you?using AI?” It was a question that was asked a lot at the IR Impact AI in IR Forum yesterday. It was great to discuss with faces old and new how AI is transforming investor relations, and what we can expect in the future. Five things really struck me: 1. There are countless use cases for AI in IR – from cutting time on your weekly monitoring emails, rapid translation of transcripts, to turning analyst notes into 10-minute podcasts. The uses today are varied and prolific. 2. AI adoption does not have to be sophisticated, and you don’t need a big budget. Sometimes you do require specialist (and very impressive) platforms, but a lot of the time the tools are already at your fingertips, like Grammarly, Deepl, NotebookLM and ChatGPT. Lots of people are using AI in their day-to-day, so get stuck in - try different tools, play around with what works and doesn’t, and see what fits you. 3. Perhaps the biggest worry for IR professionals (and compliance): What about using price sensitive information? There was a healthy debate on whether you should be comfortable feeding financially material non-public information into AI, even in closed and protected forums. Make sure you have a robust AI adoption policy that you can stick to, on this matter and others. 4. Check your homework. AI tools can do amazing things, but they are not perfect. We saw this in real time when testing tools, and we know it from past experience. Test your bots and ask if they are sure, ask for links for sources, and always check through what they turn back against source material to see if they match. 5. Think of your audiences, and how they are using AI. AI adoption in IR is moving ahead at pace, and the same is inevitably true of buy-side and sell-side. Think of how your investment audiences will be using and consuming source materials. For example, how does AI adoption vary for retail and institutional investors? Your AI outputs may well become their AI inputs.
