Instead of a resolution, we’ve chosen a one-word intention for BlueSky this year: Authenticity.

Choosing authenticity in a world of AI and fake news

Why? Because it’s becoming harder to tell what is genuine.

In a world shaped by AI search, generative answers, fake news and polished, high-quality content from anyone with a laptop and Canva, we believe PR can play an important role in keeping it real.  While we will, of course, embrace innovation and implement AI efficiencies, we will ask more of it. We will validate and bring oversight. Oversight on behalf of the brands we work with, the news stories we pitch, the corporate narratives we design, and the messaging we create.

We will embrace the new and evolving roles of “narrative designer” and “attention engineer”, expanding on what we do best, but not at the expense of creativity and originality. The brands that endure will do the same.

We’ve built BlueSky with a commitment to clarity, consistency, and credibility, and that continues to be at the core of what we do. Are we being accurate and factual? Misleading in any way? Are we starting from a point of human connection and original thought? Are we really hearing our clients’ needs and delivering an honest approach that we believe will have impact?

These are disruptive times for many industries and professions, and while we can’t say with certainty what AI’s impact will be, PR professionals are in a unique position. We influence the earned media and high-authority sites on which the AI modules depend, and with that comes the responsibility to be the bastion for brands; to embrace this role and create a governance and transparency framework that keeps us grounded. In 2026, we will leverage the benefits of the technology while continuing to bring our best, authentic work forward.

No AI was used in the writing of this content, but a thesaurus came in handy a couple of times.
