Companies struggle with AI not because of the models, but because their data is siloed. Adopting an 'integration-first' mindset is crucial for creating the unified data foundation AI requires.
As AI generates vast amounts of generic content, brands that showcase genuine human stories, empathy, and creativity will build stronger connections and trust that technology cannot replicate.
The marketing dynamic is shifting from influencing human emotions to communicating clear, machine-readable value to consumers' personal AI agents, which will increasingly handle purchasing.
In a shift towards predictive CX, brands are proactively saving customers money, even if it hurts immediate revenue. This radical transparency builds immense long-term trust and loyalty.
