A new study shows how extreme weather and power outages can impact socially vulnerable populations in counties near the U.S. Gulf Coast. The researchers also estimated the 10 counties most and least likely to have long-term power outages in the five states that border the Gulf.

A PNAS Nexus study suggests that artificial intelligence can facilitate theory- and evidence-based public health message selection.

Researchers at the University of Kansas conducted a study in which they had subjects read a news release written by a fictional company about a problem with their product. Those who were told the release was written by a human judged it more credible and the organization more trustworthy than those who were told the news was generated by AI. However, readers' perception of the approach, wheather sympathetic, apologetic or explanatory didn't vary by source. The results can help inform how to approach using AI in PR, especially in crises and reputation management, study authors argue.
