Few things in recent years have been as talked about and as misunderstood as Artificial Intelligence, aka AI. Professionals working in the field are often appalled and worried about another AI Winter, in which interest in AI plummets and research funding is cut because of exaggerated promises and under delivery. AI! AI! AI! Pop?
Fortunately, today’s guest, Andrew Jeavons, knows this field very well and he lifts the fog surrounding AI and educates us as to what it really is and what it can realistically deliver. Andrew is one of a handful of marketing researchers with extensive academic background in AI…what he says may surprise you. Don’t miss this!
MR Realities is series of podcasts in which Dave McCaughan and I discuss a wide range of topics important to marketing researchers with special guests. We ask our guests questions you would want to ask, the way you would ask them, not just what we’re interested in. And, we let our guests speak for themselves even when we disagree.These podcasts are perfect for commutes or when you’re tired of reading or staring at a computer screen!
