INTELLIGENCE
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
WHY SHOULD MARKETERS CARE?
AI can help marketers connect with consumers in a myriad of ways, including powering chatbots to bring one-to-one engagement to scale, processing massive amounts of data to generate better insights, and optimizing existing systems to run more efficiently and effectively.
HOW CAN IT HELP YOUR BUSINESS?
Businesses can use AI to improve customer service via interactive platforms; generate data-driven insights to improve creative, messaging, and targeting; and automate existing systems to drive efficiency and cost savings.
In an age where consumer attention spans are at an all-time low, something curious is happening: under the right circumstances, consumers are spending hours - even days - immersed in lush fictional worlds such as Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and The Avengers. However, world building isn't just for blockbuster entertainment franchises. When executed well, brands can create immersive worlds of their own, significantly driving brand loyalty in the process. We spoke with Tara Deveaux and Shawn Shahani of Wild Card about a new study on world building and consumer behavior. They shared what marketers could learn from Hollywood producers, and gave tips on creating a world of engagement around your brand.

But for many companies, productivity and essential tasks must be done in a physical office space. While it’s still uncertain when employees may return to their workplaces, it’s vital that leaders look into the precautions and adaptations that will be necessary in many cases to ensure the safety of their employees. The resources below discuss many of these coming possibilities.
