According to LinkedIn’s 2025 Skills on the Rise report, 70% of job skills will change by 2030 because of AI. Stephanie Conway, LinkedIn’s Senior Director of Talent Development, put it bluntly: organizations must cultivate AI literacy and human-centric skills—like communication and adaptability—if they want to thrive.

This isn’t just an HR issue. It’s an education issue.

The danger is that many courses teach one without the other. Students might experiment with AI tools, but they aren’t being taught how to use them ethically, strategically, and persuasively.

Or they’re practicing traditional communication skills, but without the AI fluency employers now expect as a baseline.

The winners in this new era will be the students—and the instructors—who master both.

That’s why John Thill and I created Business Communication Today, 16th Edition, with AI integrated into every chapter. We show students how to use AI in context:

🔹 Writing messages that balance efficiency with authenticity
🔹 Presenting ideas enhanced—not replaced—by AI tools
🔹 Job hunting with AI ethically and effectively
🔹 Collaborating in teams where human judgment guides AI
       output

The message from LinkedIn is clear: the future belongs to those who merge AI with communication. Business Communication Today is the only text designed to make that future a reality for your students.

👉 Don’t just keep up. Lead.

Instructors everywhere are asking the same question: “If I teach AI, will my students lose the timeless skills that matter most?”

It’s a valid fear. We’ve all seen what happens when students lean too heavily on AI tools—generic résumés, formulaic emails, presentations that lack a human touch. The worry is real: Will AI replace communication rather than enhance it?

Here’s the truth: AI doesn’t replace what makes us human. It magnifies it—if we teach it correctly.

Communication is the anchor. It’s what determines whether AI output is ethical, strategic, and credible. Students need to know how to use AI for brainstorming, drafting, and editing—but also how to question, refine, and humanize the results. That balance is what turns a tool into a career advantage.

Unfortunately, most business education treats AI as a technical add-on, not a communication issue. That’s the blind spot John Thill and I set out to close. In Business Communication Today, 16th Edition, we integrated AI into every chapter, showing students how to use it responsibly across writing, presenting, collaboration, social media, and job hunting.

We don’t just give them tools. We give them a framework:

When to use AI—and when not to

How to evaluate its output critically

How to disclose its use ethically

How to ensure communication stays clear, authentic, and persuasive

This is the real work of teaching AI: not replacing traditional skills, but protecting them—and preparing students for a workplace that demands both.

👉 That’s not a dilemma. That’s an opportunity.
