Hosted by the CU Denver Department of Communication
Artificial intelligence is transforming how people communicate, create, make decisions, and work together. But effective AI adoption requires more than knowing how to use a tool. Professionals need to know when AI should, and should not, be used, how to evaluate AI generated content, preserve human judgment and voice, communicate AI use transparently, and maintain trust.
CU Denver’s custom AI & Workplace Communication programs help professionals and teams develop the communication skills, critical judgment, and practical frameworks needed to work effectively and responsibly with AI. Programs can be tailored to your industry, workforce, communication challenges, and level of AI experience, from introductory sessions to advanced topics and emerging technologies.

Communicating AI Adoption: Building Trust and Readiness for Organizational Change
Explore the communication challenges of introducing AI into a workplace, including uncertainty, resistance, stakeholder engagement, shared expectations, and responsible adoption.
AI-Ready Talent: Recruiting, Developing, and Partnering for the Future of Work
Examine how AI is changing the skills employers need and how organizations can rethink recruiting, job descriptions, professional development, and partnerships with universities to prepare students and employers for an AI enabled workforce.
AI, Human Judgment, Voice, and Trust
Explore where AI and automation can be useful and where human judgment must remain central. Participants consider accountability, bias, transparency, authenticity, organizational voice, and maintaining trust in AI assisted communication.

AI, Culture, and Communication: Whose Voice Does AI Represent?
Examine how cultural assumptions and patterns of representation can shape AI generated communication and affect communication with diverse audiences.
Customized for Your Workplace
Programs can be tailored to your industry, audience, AI tools, communication challenges, organizational policies, and emerging needs. Sessions can be designed for executives, managers, frontline professionals, faculty and staff, or mixed audiences.
Programs range from a single workshop or lunch-and-learn to half-day or full-day professional development experiences and multi-session programs. CU Denver can also develop programs around emerging AI capabilities and workplace challenges.
