Is more content actually hurting your brand? 😬

As AI floods every channel, "Credibility Fatigue" is becoming a real threat to corporate communications. When audiences can't tell what's real, they stop listening entirely.

At WCFA, we believe the the only way to stay relevant in 2026 is to be genuine and transparent. And while we agree AI can be an extremely helpful tool, we can't deny it’s time to prioritize quality and trust over sheer volume.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, nearly half of Americans said they no longer trust the information they encounter online. As a result, according to a survey, brands are increasingly becoming de facto sources of truth verification.

I am writing this to address a recent post shared by the Davos Communications Summit which used inappropriate and insensitive language.

On behalf of the WCFA and myself, I want to offer my sincerest apologies.

We fully acknowledge the unintended misrepresentation on our part. While the intent was to spark a discussion on communication ethics and the "unmasking" of truth, the ex*****on was tone-deaf and offensive.

The panel topic will no longer be included at the summit and all content related to it has been immediately removed from our platforms. We hear the feedback from our community loud and clear. Your criticism is justified and we take it to heart.

As professional communicators, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethics and social responsibility. In this instance, we failed to meet those standards. We are committed to regaining your trust as a result of this matter and have deep appreciation for your input.

Maxim Behar
President, WCFA
