More and more AI tools are used to speed up communication, analyze massive amounts of information, and create content, including chatbots, machine learning, and natural language processing. Chatbots that AI drives are used for customer support and to answer questions on websites and social media (Brandtzaeg & Følstad, 2017). They can respond right away, increasing efficiency and availability round-the-clock. Also, AI-driven data analytics solutions help businesses get insights from audience participation, public sentiment, and social media trends, enabling them to make data-driven decisions about their communication strategy (Rathore, 2023). Conversely, as AI technologies advance, there are worries regarding the eventual replacement of certain communication functions. There are concerns regarding the future of human involvement in traditional PR duties like press release drafting, data analysis, and even content production because these activities are partially automated (Ali & Abdel-Haq, 2021). It is critical to measure the influence of AI on PR and communication positions in the UAE to comprehend its relevance (Kurdy et al., 2023). This requires evaluating the rate at which AI technologies are being adopted in the area and figuring out how much AI has impacted work duties and responsibilities. The ubiquity of AI applications in PR and communication and the proportion of professionals who have seen changes in their positions due to AI integration can be learned via statistical data, surveys, and case studies. This research can offer a data-driven view of the present situation in AI in PR and communication in the UAE by measuring the effect. The current study will follow survey based quantitative methodology (Barricelli et al., 2019). It is critical to comprehend whether the effects of AI on PR and communication responsibilities vary depending on the group. This study component will examine whether some UAE demographics or professionals are more significantly affected by AI-related developments than others. For instance, are certain sectors or businesses more vulnerable to disruption from AI than others? Do younger professionals experience this impact more than older ones? Are there differences in the use and effects of AI technology in PR and communication jobs based on gender or age? Finding these inequalities can help inform policy-making for fair AI inclusion and illuminate possible obstacles and possibilities for different professional groups. Rationale of the research This research topic is timely due to the rapidly expanding nature of AI technologies and their growing importance in public relations and communication. AI technology is developing at a record-breaking rate. Understanding the consequences of these advances for communication positions requires staying current. Businesses in various industries are embracing AI to gain an edge over competitors (Feijóo et al., 2020). To stay ahead in the sector, monitoring this trend as it develops is crucial. Investigating AI’s involvement in adaptability is essential, given how the media environment is changing, especially with the emergence of social media. It is critical to capture and assess these trends as soon as they are identified, especially if there is evidence of a significant rise in the usage of AI or discernible changes in PR and communication techniques (Sima et al., 2020). The ability to adapt to and utilize the potential of AI technology is a special talent in communication. In this part, the study will give an insight at how communication tactics can help handle problems or take advantage of possibilities brought on by AI systems. For instance, communication experts are crucial in creating ethical AI communication rules, guaranteeing openness in interactions powered by AI, and controlling public impressions of AI technology (Robinson, 2020). Additionally, they can use AI capabilities to improve audience targeting, personalization, and engagement, improving communication results (Kreps & Neuhauser, 2013). This study will shed light on the proactive role of communication in determining AI’s successful integration into society using survey method. Even though AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in communication, many questions remain unresolved. The overarching question that connects the effects of AI on PR and communication with the larger area of communication studies will be identified in this section. This question can be, “What can be the influence of PR and communication professionals successfully on changing AI landscape while maintaining moral and human-centered communication practices?” This study will dive into such uncharted waters to offer suggestions and guidelines for future research. Aim of the research This study aims to advance the understanding of AI and communication. The study will contribute by thoroughly accounting for any novel communication behaviors or occurrences resulting from AI integration. It will improve the knowledge of these links if the research pinpoints correlations between AI and communication ideas, such as the effect of AI on audience engagement or public perception. The study will contribute by improving theoretical frameworks in the discipline if it applies current communication theories to new people or locales. The results of this study will also be turned into useful prescriptions supported by empirical data, assuring their application and relevance in the fast-changing field of AI-driven communication. Overall, this study, “Artificial Intelligence Platforms: Enhancing or Replacing PR and Communication Roles,” will examine how AI is changing the area of public relations (PR) and communication roles in the UAE. The study will examine how AI affects various positions, measure its effect, look at discrepancies across impacted groups, emphasize how timely the study is, and speak about the need for communication in addressing the possibilities and difficulties associated with AI. This study will also uncover unresolved issues that will function as a starting point for further research, and it has concluded that its primary contributions are descriptive, relational, or theoretical, offering insight into how AI affects communication practices. The useful advice provided by this study will help professionals, decision-makers, and educators navigate the rapidly changing AI world while upholding moral and human-centered communication standards. So, this research emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend and utilize AI’s potential in PR and communication, ensuring that technology augments rather than substitutes for human responsibilities in these industries. The findings from this study will be a useful resource for stakeholders looking to adapt and succeed in a progressively AI-driven communication environment in the UAE and elsewhere as AI develops. Chapter II Literature Review It has sparked excitement and trepidation in the business to see Artificial Intelligence (AI) incorporated into communication methods and public relations (PR). As AI grows, concerns regarding AI’s ability to complement or even replace PR and communication positions are raised. Research questions and hypotheses that will direct future exploration are introduced after a rigorous analysis of current information on the topic. Existing Knowledge from Analytical Literature Reviews and Meta-Analyses Much research regarding AI’s effects on PR and communication roles is illuminated in great detail by analytical literature reviews and meta-analyses. These thorough studies present a complex picture of the status of knowledge. A meta-analysis of research investigating the impacts of AI on PR and communication was carried out in one such review by Xie et al. (2022). According to their findings, AI systems have significantly increased the efficiency and efficacy of PR initiatives. In correspondence to this Ahmad et al. (2020) argued that AI tools like chatbots and sentiment analysis have given PR practitioners access to data-driven knowledge and automation capabilities. However, Carter et al. (2020) argued that AI’s implementation should be carefully directed by human knowledge to ensure moral and strategic communication. In contrast, Chan and Tsi (2023) highlights a discrepancy in the literature. Although AI helps with some areas of PR and communication, it cannot completely replace the crucial human touch. AI might not be able to replace the interpersonal skills, creativity, and strategic planning that public relations workers bring to their work. These contrasting viewpoints highlight the n
