It Won't Impact Me

It depends.

One professional emailed me to suggest his company is using AI to generate 9% increases in reactivation rates. Another professional told me he's using RFM ... a 35-50 year old technology, to decide which customers are worthy of being reactivated.

Which professional is looking to the future?

Neither.

Or both are.

We don't know. We don't know how either individual thinks about the future.

Am I future-proofing myself by creating cartoon images via AI? Noooooooo.

You might think carefully about what happens if the return on investment on AI does not materialize fast enough? Remember 1996 - 2001? The adoption of the internet and monetization of the internet did not keep up with the Goobers who overspent. I worked for a company that went from $78 a share to $1 a share within six months. You might want to think about what it means for your company and your job if the market "corrects" because AI doesn't monetize itself fast enough.

There is going to be a generation of Leaders who navigate companies through the current political environment and the adoption of AI, avoiding bubbles and controversies. Pay attention to these people, because they're the ones who own the future.
