The last two PR: Done and Doner podcasts focused on ChatGPT and AI in PR. In Episode 16, we invited a panel comprising Fusion PR account directors Mark Prindle and Diana Bost, and Stefano Pacifico, CEO and Co-founder of Epistemic AI, a company that uses AI for drug discovery.

- How PR teams can responsibly harness its power
- Other generative AI solutions
