In this third blog post on the ethical use of AI in internal communications, Cai Kjaer explores best practices internal communicators should adopt as they embed the use of AI.
In Cai Kjaer’s second instalment in his series on the ethical use of AI in internal communications, he explores how the need for disclosure increases with the level of AI’s involvement, and the risk of misperception.
While AI can boost efficiency and provide creative inspiration for internal communicators, it raises an important question: When should communicators disclose that content was AI-generated or AI-assisted?
This is the first of Cai Kjaer’s three-part series on the ethical use of AI in internal communications.
In the age of the chatbot, are internal communicators writing for people, or for bots?
The reality is, we are writing for people who might reach our content through a bot. Cai Kjaer explores the evolution of AI and intranets.
Will AI take over the intranet?
The overwhelming consensus is that AI and the intranet won’t work together unless governance measures are in place and content is up to date. Learn how organisations are using AI and the intranet.
If you want to get your intranet AI-ready, think of it like a fresh start when you move house. You need to get rid of the junk, you need to do a good clean-up of the old house and have structures in place in the new house to keep everything organised.

Five evidence-based insights: Working effectively as a team in Microsoft Teams
Here at SWOOP Analytics, we have just published our very first global benchmarking report of the interactions of more than 47,000 people in more than 5,300 Teams across 15 organisations. This is the world's largest benchmarking study ever undertaken of team interaction patterns on Microsoft Teams. What follows are five evidence-based insights on what the best performing teams are doing and what you can do to achieve better business outcomes.

Will the ‘Real’ Digital Team Please Stand Up?
Other than simple reports on digital team size and number of messages shared, the team-level analytics currently available are rudimentary at best. My previous article on building effective digital teams examined research my company, Swoop Analytics, did on over 1,300 self-declared digital teams across several organizations using the Workplace by Facebook platform.
