A half-sentence, said almost casually, that reveals a concern, a goal, or a hidden story between the lines. If you listen closely, you&#8217;ll recognize that moment when communication is more than just content.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Artificial intelligence is of no help in such situations. What is needed here is tact. <\/p>\n\n<p>And that is precisely why \u201ctact\u201d is one of our core AI principles. Because despite all the ways AI makes our lives easier, it can never replace our intuition. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-indigo-800-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wuv.de\/Themen\/Marke\/Vom-Duolingo-Fail-lernen-KI-Transformation-menschlich-kommuniziert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Miriam&#8217;s guest article in W&amp;V: Communicating AI transformation in a human Way<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communication is more than Automation<\/h2>\n\n<p>We deliberately use AI to simplify processes: in briefings, research, the editorial preparation of complex content, and the documentation of meetings. This saves time, speeds things up, and ensures that we can focus on what&#8217;s important: the interpersonal level of collaboration. <\/p>\n\n<p>Anyone who works with people \u2013 clients, journalists, partners \u2013 knows that every interaction is unique. Every exchange is a small social network. Artificial intelligence doesn&#8217;t draw conclusions when someone&#8217;s voice gets quieter during a conversation. It doesn&#8217;t recognize subtext. We do.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Do \u2013 And What We Don&#8217;t Do (Yet)<\/h2>\n\n<p>AI supports many of our internal processes \u2013 especially those involving structure, efficiency, and initial impulses. For example: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>in the preparation and consolidation of briefings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in research work and data analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when documenting meetings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in editing and structuring initial drafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and in strategic preliminary considerations, such as positioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>AI-generated content, where authenticity and empathy are paramount \u2013 for example, in consulting services, crisis communication, or direct interaction with journalists \u2013 is not part of our repertoire.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are also deliberately avoiding fully automated touchpoints with stakeholders, such as AI-supported avatars. We tell real stories about real people. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-1024x683.png\" alt=\"collaboration AI\" class=\"wp-image-67015\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zusammenarbeit-KI-2048x1365.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Collaboration with AI, image source: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Machines Help \u2013 and Where Humans Lead<\/h2>\n\n<p>In one of our recent projects, AI guided an employee through a complex data analysis tool. The prompt was precise and the result helpful. But the key insight came from her: <em>\u201cI guide the AI so that it can guide me.\u201d<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n<p>In other cases, it&#8217;s the other way around: we give AI tasks that don&#8217;t require sensitivity, such as summarizing a 30-page input document or evaluating a survey. But always with the clear understanding that we are the ones setting the pace. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our AI Principles: Collaboration is Responsibility<\/h2>\n\n<p>What makes good cooperation for us? Openness. Honesty. Trust on equal terms. And the awareness that communication is not a one-way street.    <\/p>\n\n<p>AI can support, but it cannot connect. Especially in sensitive contexts \u2013 such as crisis scenarios or personal consulting \u2013 we rely on our intuition, our team spirit, and our experience. When it comes to nuances, nothing can replace human empathy.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We believe in the potential that AI can create for us. We may not yet have a project in which it has measurably freed up more time for creative excellence. But we know that this space will emerge when we combine technology with attitude.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-indigo-800-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mashup-communications.de\/en\/ai-principles\/\">Our AI Manifesto<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTact\u201d is one of our core principles when dealing with AI.
