Have you ever reread an email before hitting send, wondering if it sounded too harsh? Or struggled to get your message across clearly and concisely? If so, you’re not alone. As a communication expert and leadership coach, I’ve spent years helping professionals refine their messaging. And now, artificial intelligence (AI) writing tools are stepping in to do the same—but are they boosting or hindering our ability to communicate effectively?
Whether it’s Grammarly polishing your grammar, Microsoft’s Copilot or Google’s Gemini drafting your next email or Alphy’s HarmCheck ensuring your message is legally and ethically sound, AI-powered communication tools are becoming essential. This trend isn’t going anywhere, and like any innovation, it comes with opportunities and challenges.
