Enough with the “Delving” – Staying Human in the Age of AI.Is AI making us better or worse at communicating? On one hand, platforms like ChatGPT have unlocked the ability to instantly create and customize vast reams of messaging – emails, social posts, and more. But the telltale fingerprints of AI, from overused words like “innovative” and “delve,” its preference for middle-of-the-road conclusions, and its tendency to yap at length, are also hurting our ability to actually connect with our audience. In this panel, explore how both individuals and brands can be better communicators in the age of AI.Panel:Joanna Lepore - Looking Outside Host and foresight strategistBen Guttmann - Marketing executive and authorUsama Fayyad - Executive Director of Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern UniversityModerated by Melina Palmer - Founder & CEO of The Brainy BusinessThis is a recording of a live panel that took place March 7, 2025 at SXSW in Austin, Texas in the Advertising & Brand Experience Track.
