So what must you do about AI?
CMI’s chief technique advisor Robert Rose will get into the worry round generative AI content material in his column subsequent Tuesday (Might 2). However right here’s a preview: He thinks the trope, “AI gained’t exchange you, however somebody utilizing AI will,” is fear-based and misguided.

AI gained’t do this,” Robert notes. “When you ask AI to put in writing a press launch a couple of product, no AI on the planet will say, ‘Hey, possibly you shouldn’t do this.

So depend Robert amongst those that count on AI platforms to complement advertising groups’ work fairly than exchange them.
“Simply by being there, storytellers infuse worth. In the event that they weren’t, you’d already be laying them off,” he says. “AI isn’t going to interchange that worth.”
