Abstract

This article examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on public relations analytics, focusing on its integration into media monitoring, sentiment analysis, and strategic decision-making processes. Through a comprehensive article analysis of current AI applications in PR, the article explores how natural language processing and machine learning algorithms enhance real-time media monitoring, automate routine tasks, and provide deeper insights into public sentiment. The article investigates the role of AI in social listening tools, highlighting improvements in conversation filtering, influencer identification, and crisis detection capabilities. Additionally, it addresses the professional implications of AI adoption, examining how these technologies empower PR practitioners while presenting new challenges in terms of skill development and workflow adaptation. The article also critically evaluates the ethical considerations surrounding AI implementation, including privacy concerns and algorithmic bias. Findings suggest that while AI significantly enhances analytical capabilities and operational efficiency in PR, human expertise remains crucial for strategic interpretation and contextual understanding. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge on technological integration in public relations practice, offering insights for practitioners and researchers exploring the intersection of AI and strategic communications.
