On this episode of SMACtalk, Brian Fanzo and Daniel Newman discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the retail space including how Starbucks is leveraging data analytics and AI.  They also breakdown the impact of GDPR but don’t worry this isn’t a full episode on GDPR because as we can all agree we’ve had enough of GDPR for the moment.  

Discussed on this episode:

  • Do today’s consumers realize that A.I. is already impacting them every single day?
  • What impact with the GDPR changes have on AI?
  • How will consumers demands of AI change in 2018?

“Nobody will ever complain that you’re helping them too much or providing too much value!”
