Marketing Tech Quote-of-the-Week!

Generative AI is the hottest topic in enterprise tech currently, with organizations racing to deploy these powerful new capabilities for mission-critical use cases. Many businesses, however, are overlooking their data readiness to fuel effective Gen AI implementations. Poor data preparation can completely derail an AI initiative before it even begins. In fact, Actian’s recent research found that 87% of professionals agree proper data prep is extremely important for optimal generative AI outcomes. Yet only 4% of people in charge of data readiness said they were ready. That’s a massive disconnect.

MarTech QnA with the Expert

Three things I think are going to change how marketing professionals can really embrace AI and will shape work.

Managing complexity: Many companies are building AI co-pilots and companions. And while the idea is right, the technology isn’t there yet. Work has gotten more complex and AI, when it really can understand and interpret the context we humans find ourselves in, will be able to truly help us manage complexity.

Rapid A/B/C testing: AI is notoriously bad at being creative because it “predicts the next most likely thing” and gives you that, which is precisely the opposite of creativity. However once you have one of a thing, it’s powerful to develop variants quickly, which will help marketers test variants and the fine-tuning of ideas.

Productivity boost: Our view of AI is one of human-enhancement. What we mean is that AI isn’t in the near future going to replace our tasks. It’s just going to make us more productive as knowledge workers.
