Report: Using AI to Help Communicate Your Research
Used deliberately, AI can also serve as a thinking partner, helping you test interpretations, anticipate questions, and refine explanations.
You’ve done the research. Now comes the harder part: making sure the right people read it, understand it, and use it.Â
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can help translate complex findings into accessible products, such as policy briefs, media talking points, and presentations, while significantly reducing the time required to produce them. Used deliberately, AI can also serve as a thinking partner, helping you test interpretations, anticipate questions, and refine explanations.Â
This guide shows how to use AI to communicate research more effectively while maintaining accuracy, transparency, and control over how findings are interpreted. It is written for researchers and analysts who need to communicate complex findings clearly, accurately, and responsibly to non-specialist audiences.Â
This guide is organized around six steps: 1) establishing your research foundation, 2) configuring your AI tool, 3) developing your message, 4) creating communication products, 5) preparing for adversarial contexts, and 6) performing a final review.Â
