Following overwhelming demand, the eye-opening AI Masterclass held last year is back, bigger and better than ever. 

Hemant Gaule, co-founder and director of the School of Communications and Reputation (SCoRe), returns to Manila on March 21

The Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP), in partnership with the AI Centre of Excellence (ACE), is proud to welcome back Hemant Gaule, a distinguished expert in artificial intelligence (AI), as he leads the “Power of AI for Communications and Beyond” on March 21, 2025, at The Holiday Inn & Suites Makati and online via Zoom

In September last year, the AI Masterclass with PRSP led by Gaule, the co-founder and director of the School of Communications and Reputation (SCoRe), had been a resounding success. Participants raved about the hands-on training, learning how to strategically integrate AI tools like ChatGPT into their PR campaigns. 

“The Al Masterclass on ChatGPT was one of the most useful and most relevant lectures we’ve had in recent times. The attendance and the interest shown by the participants indicate that our PR professionals have embraced artificial intelligence and are willing to learn more about it so they can navigate towards their strategies and, with caution, optimize their use for maximum results. Personally, I now use ChatGPT more often than before,” shared Andy Saracho, Vice President, Veterans Affairs Office of the Philippine Veterans Bank, and Immediate Past President of PRSP.

From AI-driven insights to advanced prompt engineering, the masterclass also equipped PR professionals with practical skills to elevate their strategies. The event, moderated by industry leaders like Ana Pista of ArdentComm, Norman Agatep of Grupo Agatep, and Abigail Ho-Torres of PRSP, was hailed as transformative, solidifying the importance of artificial intelligence in the future of PR.

“The demand to delve deeper into AI’s evolving role in communications has been tremendous,” said Ana Pista, VP for Internal Affairs of PRSP and also the founder and CEO of ArdentComm. “The success of last year’s masterclass clearly demonstrated the hunger for this knowledge. We are thrilled to partner with ACE and bring Gaule back to provide a more updated and expanded learning experience.”
