Exploring the Impact of AI on Engagement Practice
The fourth paper in IAP2 Australasia’s Thought Leadership Series, Exploring the Impact of AI on Engagement Practice provides a benchmark for exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on engagement practice and arises from a desire to understand the benefits, challenges and risks associated with embracing AI in engagement practices.
This comes at a time when there are rapid developments in AI, communities are increasingly diversifying, there is public scepticism of government, and legal frameworks to regulate AI are evolving within Australasia.
Groundbreakers and Transparency Makers: the Role of Engagement in ESG
This is the third report in our thought leadership series, presenting innovative and original research into the sectoral challenges facing the engagement profession, research, and policy.
Engagement plays a vital role in the integrity of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks and reporting. Building trust in democracy and achieving positive ESG outcomes go hand-in-hand with prioritising engagement.
The increasing attention to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical governance in business practices has been decades in the making. This report acknowledges the crucial role engagement plays in the credibility of ESG reporting, advocating for the elevation of engagement to decision-making and strategic levels across all three ESG pillars.
Community Influence in Public Decision-Making
This thought leadership paper arises from a drive to understand more deeply the intersection of community influence and public decision-making, especially in the context of the increased visibility of engagement, on the one hand, and declining trust in government, on the other.
