In Guild's community trends for 2023 we highlighted that AI would impact Community building.
But could anyone have predicted just how disruptive AI would be in such a short time frame?
We invited global community experts Richard Millington, Venessa Paech, Blaise Grimes-Viort and Gregor Young to discuss the impact, opportunities and risks that AI brings and how it will shape community building today and in the future.
They covered:
- Why AI is helping community builders ascend to a more strategic role
- Whether AI will impact customer support communities more than communities of practice or passion
- How Guild is integrating AI into its community platform
- How AI is enabling new models of collaboration and co-creation in communities
- Why community managers won't disappear! And which tasks will be automated to free up time
- The 4 categories of AI that that support community building
- reducing harm
- automating burden
- organizing meaning
- deepening insights - How AI tools can support content moderation
- AI's role in improving data, meaning and reporting to community managers
- Questions around AI and diversity/representation
- Whether AI will be a "required skillset" for community professionals
