Prepare to navigate the stormy seas of crisis management as we welcome the unparalleled expertise of Dan Smiley, whose storied career has taken him from the decks of the Coast Guard to the forefront of oil spill response. Now, as a consultant and podcast voice on crisis leadership, Dan steps aboard our show to chart the integration of AI into the realm of incident command. With anecdotes from the field and an insider's perspective, he brings to life the transformative impact of AI tools like ChatGPT in sculpting dynamic response strategies and propelling software innovation in crisis scenarios.
The conversation then shifts to a more turbulent current – the murky waters of AI-generated graphics and the scourge of misinformation. Battling through the challenges of crafting our podcast logo with AI, we expose the ironic complexities of technology that's simultaneously advancing and leading astray. Witness how deceptively realistic visuals, such as those of a fabricated ship fire, can undermine trust during real-life emergencies. Dan and I explore the indispensable role of Public Information Officers in this new age, armed with the latest rhetorical armor to combat an onslaught of AI-spun fallacies that threaten the integrity of truth in our digitally dominated world.
