A CMO Confidential Interview with D J Patil, a Great Point Ventures investor and former U.S. Chief Data Scientist in the Obama Administration. D J discusses why everyone should "Take the red pill," his belief that AI will accelerate at speed, and why you shouldn't delegate this responsibility to a single person or team. Key topics include: why "boring, repeatable problems" offer the best current use cases; how AI can move you from creator to editor; how the DoD is thinking about AI; why failing now allows for success later; and why many marketing databases are not ready for prime time. Tune in to hear how generative AI started with a database of cat photos.00:00 Welcome to CMO Confidential: Inside the World of Chief Marketing Officers00:43 Diving Deep into AI: Red Pill or Blue Pill?01:35 The Evolution and Impact of AI on Society05:27 AI's Practical Applications and Limitations08:15 AI in the Workplace: Enhancing Efficiency and Creativity13:02 Navigating AI's Challenges: Public Mistakes and Ethical Considerations18:04 Government's Role in AI Regulation and Future Predictions22:41 AI in Marketing: Embrace or Be Left Behind25:08 Vendor Management and Investment Advice in the AI Era29:34 Embracing Failure and Experimentation in AI34:19 Parting Wisdom: Staying Ahead in the AI Game#aimarketing #marketingai #data Linkedin: @CMOConfidentialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MzXYx0wRB3thgZitlfJoS?si=406b1b98eca6470fApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cmo-confidential/id1668226567Youtube: @CMOConfidentialSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
