Marketers' Hopes and Fears for Artificial Intelligence
- 1. Marketers Hopes and Fears for Artificial Intelligence David Berkowitz Chief Strategy Officer, Sysomos @sysomos / @dberkowitz dberkowitz@sysomos.com
- 2. About this presentation This talk about artificial intelligence (AI) was presented at IAB Conecta in Mexico City in August 2017. This version has been annotated and edited for clarity. For the research featured here, Sysomos partnered with The Drum, which surveyed more than 200 marketing professionals in May 2017. The vast majority of respondents were in senior management levels, and they hailed from brands, agencies, media companies, and technology providers. In the notes field of each slide, you can find links to any additional sources. For any questions about this talk, please reach out to me anytime. Thanks for reading this.

- 7. These are the associations most people seem to have with AI…
- 12. “The greatest benefit of the arrival of artificial intelligence is that AIs will help define humanity. We need AIs to tell us who we are.” -Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable
- 13. “47% of all jobs will be taken by robots.” - The Future of Employment “47% of all jobs will be taken by robots.” -The Future of Employment
- 16. Strong vs Narrow AI Narrow AI refers to non-sentient technology focused on one specific task. Strong AI refers to consciousness and sentience, where AI can be applied to any problem.
- 17. “In the next 10 years, 99% of the artificial intelligence that you will interact with, directly or indirectly, will be nerdly narrow, supersmart specialists.” -Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable
- 18. “More and more products and services will fuse machine intelligence with crowd work to help users get things done.” -Shivon Zilis in Harvard Business Review
- 19. This isn’t the AI you’ve been looking for, but it is an early example of predictive problem- solving assistants.
- 20. Why is the race for AI so hot right now? • Data sets • Processing power • Practical goals • New algorithms • ‘Adjacent possible’

Editor's Notes
- How are marketers investing in artificial intelligence? According to new research, most organizations aren’t realizing the full value of AI. Learn how leading brands perceive AI, including topics such as: * Which departments benefit the most from AI? * Which use cases (such as customer service and media buying) have the most appeal to marketers making AI investments? * Do marketers see any potential for AI to influence the creative process? * Will AI result in job losses, and which kinds of roles could be impacted the most? * Will AI become an important strategic element of marketing plans? * Do any marketers think AI will be able to do the entirety of their jobs? * How can AI solve problems of marketing waste? How else will AI transform marketing in the next five years? Get a glimpse of the future, and discover some of the most practical immediate applications of such cutting-edge technology.

- https://hbr.org/2016/06/machine-intelligence-will-let-us-all-work-like-ceos More and more products and services will fuse machine intelligence with crowd work to help users get things done. Uber is a good example: it combines on-demand drivers with algorithmic scheduling and coordination to deliver rides.
- We’re all getting new assistants – it’s like the next generation of Clippy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant
- Data sets (mobile, IoT, etc) Processing power Practical goals – eg winning chess, then Jeopardy, then Go New algorithms ‘Adjacent possible’
- Let’s go to the research (even if it’s 200 global people, not 100 Mexicans)
- Interestingly, when it comes to specific areas marketers do not want AI to handle, creative briefs and recruitment come out on top This will be a major defining question over the next couple of decades. How much do we really embrace what humans can do and what they can’t do? How much do we value something produced by a human versus software? Are we going to hand over the keys to our humanity to a machine?

- Question: How long do you think it will be before AI makes a significant impact on your marketing activity?
- It seems inevitable that AI will cause jobs to disappear. There are millions of professionals out there who have no administrative assistance or support, and it’s here AI can make their jobs better without displacing anyone. Someone in a very senior position isn’t going to want to use AI when they need a real human being working with them and helping them do their job. The advent of programmatic media for instance hasn’t created a massive loss of jobs of media planners and buyers. Five years ago, this might have been a major concern if you were a media buyer. This old form of media buying has not gone away either. Even within the ad industry, there are reasons for not being too pessimistic yet. It makes sense that this concern is top of mind for most people in the survey.
- http://imgur.com/gallery/Sf6od On gauging future success… Lesson from Daniel Kahneman (Nobel Prize winner in Economics, author of Thinking Fast and Slow) We are prone to taking the Inside View – based on our own experiences and vision and specific circumstances Take the Outside View – can you look at the class of anything related and make some assumptions about the odds of success? And can you do anything to increase those odds at the outside? Goal is to avoid a Planning Fallacy: Plans that are unrealistically close to best-case scenarios Plans that could be improved by consulting data of similar cases (again, if similar cases exist)

March 8, 2016 Developers fear that their own obsolescence will be spurred by artificial intelligence, according to a new survey of over 550 software developers to be released this week by Evans Data Corp. When asked to identify the most worrisome thing in their careers, the largest plurality, 29.1%, cited “I and my development efforts are replaced by artificial intelligence.” This was significantly more worrisome than platform issues, such as their targeted platforms becoming obsolete which was the second most cited worry at 23%, or that the new platform they’re targeting doesn’t catch on (14%).
