Artificial intelligence is not only a tool but also a technology that drives a shift in the role of Public Relations professionals in the communications industry. This study aims to analyze the shift in the role of public relations professionals in dealing with the development of artificial intelligence technology in the public relations profession. The theory used is technological determinism and the role of public relations. The method used in this study is a case study with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and literature studies. The results of the study show that in the era of artificial intelligence, there has been a shift in the role of public relations professionals from the four conventional PR roles to the role of gatekeepers and validators.
