In today's episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing Quick Cast, we'll be discussing a topic that's of critical importance to businesses today: How AI will impact the way we do business?As we dive into 2023, there's no doubt that AI technology is continuously revolutionizing the business landscape. From chatbots to predictive analytics and machine learning, AI is already being used in a variety of ways to help businesses become more streamlined, cost-effective and productive. While there are a lot of positive impacts, AI is starting to raise concerns leading to job loss especially for writers.Just a month ago, I came across Ann Handley's LinkedIn post about ChatGPT and I love the many points she raised about how AI put writing "into the scene" again. She highlighted the importance of how we look at AI as a tool to enhance our work and definitely not to be the creator itself. My take is to approach it with caution and awareness. AI should not be a human replacement for creativity.We'll discuss how important it is to be ethical while using AI because as the day goes by, more and more AI tools are coming out, and there's no stopping it. It's up to us as to how we will maximize the potential of AI to transform our businesses and stay ahead of the curve.Join us as we explore this exciting and complex topic.
