While new technologies bring tremendous promise – and the excitement around tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney is palpable – communication and marketing agencies must be thoughtful and intentional as we use them.
In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll likely see professional services companies integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their workflows to generate written and visual content. At JPA Health, we believe the use of AI has the potential to enhance productivity, increase efficiency, and even spark creativity. By utilizing these tools to automate simpler tasks, we can free up valuable time and mental energy to focus on solving more complex strategic problems.
While we are confident AI is here to stay and will become a game-changer in our work, we know we must navigate this transformational moment responsibly. The following principles outline how JPA plans to leverage AI.
