Integrating AI tools necessitates a thoughtful approach to experimentation and implementation. Recent research from Gartner underscores the importance of commencing with pilot projects to gather metrics for success.
These metrics encompass various aspects, including time efficiency, draft quality, and asset utilization.
Through iterative experimentation, organizations can ascertain the efficacy of AI tools and their potential impact on content strategy.
However, before even gathering the data, companies must agree on if, where and how AI fits within their content governance framework.
Questions to ask and answer include:
• Strategic alignment: Does AI align with our overall content strategy and business objectives? How does integrating AI into content governance contribute to our long-term goals?
• Resource allocation: What resources (financial, human, technological) are required to implement and maintain AI-driven content governance? Do we have the necessary expertise, or do we need to invest in training or hiring AI specialists?
• Risk assessment: What are the potential risks and challenges associated with AI adoption in content governance? How can we mitigate risks related to data privacy, security, accuracy, and ethical considerations?
• Impact on content workflows: How will AI integration affect existing content creation, review, and distribution processes? What changes need to be made to accommodate AI tools within those workflows and approval processes?
• Quality assurance: How do we ensure that AI-generated content meets our quality standards and brand guidelines? What measures will be put in place to validate the accuracy and authenticity of AI-generated content?
• Regulatory compliance: Are there any legal or regulatory requirements that govern the use of AI in content governance? How do we ensure compliance with data protection laws and regulations when using AI?
• User experience: How will AI-driven content governance impact the overall user experience? Will AI enhancements improve accessibility, personalization, and engagement for our audience?
• Measurement and evaluation: What key performance indicators (KPIs) will be used to assess the effectiveness of AI-driven content distribution? How do we measure the ROI and business impact of AI integration in content governance?
• Ethical considerations: What ethical guidelines and principles should govern the use of AI in content creation and distribution? How can we ensure transparency, fairness and accountability in AI algorithms and decision-making processes?
• Long-term sustainability: How scalable and adaptable is our AI-driven content governance framework to future changes and advancements in technology? What steps will be taken to continuously optimize and refine our AI strategies for long-term sustainability?
As is clear from the above, it’s important that your site lives up to your organization’s standards, which means that you need to constantly monitor your content to flag anything that goes against your website standards.
Furthermore, given the data protection and privacy concerns around AI, it’s vital for organizations to remain compliant with all regulatory requirements.
