Amplify: Mastering Public Communication in the AI Age is a live workshop series for professionals who shape public messages at all levels of government. The series supports their core mission to inform, connect, and serve. It also explores how AI tools—when used responsibly and transparently—can strengthen communication, broaden outreach, and counter disinformation. The series is hosted and curated by Jill Abramson and John Wihbey, who will also serve as part of the faculty, alongside Henry Griggs. Together, they will guide participants throughout the series as lead coaches—drawing on their deep expertise in journalism, public messaging, and strategic communication. Workshop recordings will be posted for those who cannot attend synchronously. 

Learn how to design effective and efficient AI-enhanced citizen engagement that translates public input into meaningful outcomes. This series is hosted and curated by Beth Simone Noveck, founder of InnovateUS and the GovLab and Danielle Allen, Director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, who will also serve as part of the faculty.

This workshop series teaches you practical skills to leverage AI and digital platforms for participation that is more inclusive, responsive, and effective at turning community voices into real policy and service improvements.

Join leading practitioners and learn how to go beyond one-way consultation to collaborative problem-solving that harnesses AI's potential while maintaining democratic integrity.
