Adults & Professionals · Safety & Governance · ~7 min read
The premise
Public AI-incident comms must be honest, timely, and legally reviewed; AI can draft but counsel and comms own the publish.
What AI does well here
- Draft three voice variants (technical, plain, regulatory).
- Generate user-impact summaries from incident timelines.
What AI cannot do
- Decide what to admit before facts are confirmed.
- Replace legal and crisis-comms judgment.
