New Listen Up! Podcast Episode - AI for Good: Maximizing AI in Health Communication
CDC’s Office of Communications is pleased to share the latest Listen Up! episode - Season 2, Episode 5, AI for Good: Maximizing AI in Health Communication.
A podcast for health communicators by health communicators
Listen Up! is a professional development podcast for health communication professionals, including those working at the federal, state, and local levels, public health students, and others.

Artificial intelligence technology and generative AI have the potential to revolutionize health communication practice—providing an onslaught of solutions, in seconds, and with just a stroke of a key.  While organizations are implementing policies to support the best use of these technologies in the workplace, the onramp to engagement with AI can feel steep.  What applications hold the most promise for health communicators?  What are the risks and pitfalls?  What digital fluency is needed to meet the moment?

Listen in to hear answers to these important questions and more with guests Annice Kim, PhD, senior director of the Center for Communication and Media Impact at RTI International; Amelia Burke-Garcia, PhD, director of NORC Center for Health Communications Science; and Robert Jennings, executive director of the National Public Health Information Coalition.  Catch each episode of the podcast series by subscribing with your RSS feed reader.  You can also listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Pandora.
