Our conversation delves into the need for communicators to become more data-savvy and how these tools can support our gut instincts with solid data.
In our conversation, we focus on the crucial issues of ethics and accuracy as we explore the initial reactions to AI-powered tools. We also delve into the necessary skills that communicators will need to incorporate AI effectively in the future. Our panelists provide valuable insights into how to address concerns and leverage opportunities that AI presents for brands to better understand their customers.
Looking ahead, we examine the potential impact of AI technology on jobs and industries, as well as the importance of ensuring accuracy in a world where AI is continuously evolving.
