Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Canadian Municipal Governments: The Role of Communicators and Their Use of AI

 

 

You are invited to take part in this study on the role of municipal communicators in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) within local Canadian governments.

The findings of this research will provide valuable insights for municipal communicators and governments across Canada about the impact of AI, how municipal communicators are part of the adoption of AI within their organization, and how these communicators are using AI within their own practice.

Information gathered during this study will be written up as a capstone research report. People participating in this study must be communicators or public relations practitioners in Canada.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Once you start, you need to finish it in one session.
