COMMUNICATION: IPRA Unveils AI, PR Guidelines for Ethical Practices

The International Public Relations Association (IPRA), a global organization dedicated to advancing ethical public relations practices, has unveiled a comprehensive set of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and PR Guidelines.

The guidelines, developed by a panel of IPRA experts, provide a framework for PR professionals to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and ensure that their use of AI aligns with IPRA’s principles of ethics, transparency, and accountability.

The guidelines starting point is to recall that AI content has the potential both to enhance public relations, and the potential for bias, misuse, deception, and harm

The guidelines take 5 of the 18 articles of the IPRA ethical code of conduct and interpret implementation with respect to AI and PR. For example, under code article four to be open and transparent the guidelines urge PR practitioners to disclose when they are using AI.

Equally, under article seven of the IPRA code to ensure truth and accuracy, the guidelines ask that AI content is fact-checked by humans. The set of 11 guidelines can be found the website of IPRA.

The 2023 Guidelines complement IPRA’s history of codes of conduct. Throughout its existence IPRA has sought to provide intellectual leadership for the public relations profession.

A key part of this is the development of codes and guidelines seeking to provide an ethical framework for the activities of the profession. Upon joining IPRA, members undertake to uphold these codes and in doing so benefit from the ethical climate that they create.

The current code, reviewed in 2020, consolidates the 1961 Code of Venice, the 1965 Code of Athens and the 2007 Code of Brussels. The IPRA Climate Change Guidelines were launched at the start of 2023.

……………….
