AI is going to change brand strategy and marketing forever. Are you ready?

What does the rapid rise and astonishing rate of improvement of AI mean for brands in the next five years? Listen to what OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told authors Adam Brotman and Andy Sack when he met them: "It will mean that 95 percent of what marketers use agencies, strategists, and creative professionals for today will easily, nearly instantly, and at almost no cost be handled by AI. No problem."

Upon hearing that astonishing statement, the authors began a journey of discovery to understand what the transition to an AI first world would mean. You'll hear from a who's who of tech visionaries who spoke with the authors, including Altman himself, Bill Gates, and Reid Hoffman, sharing how they're thinking of the transition to the new reality. You'll also hear from practitioners bold enough to be surfing this tidal wave of change, including one who audaciously mandated experimentation with AI for all his employees.

It's time to get ready for a brand-new world. Start here.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is an excellent call-to-action based on the current situation of AI and real world examples from companies who are taking the lead with AI innovation. The recommended AI Playbook is a practical tool for leaders to introduce and infiltrate AI into their company’s culture and operations. Highly recommend to read asap.

AI First is easily the most disappointing audiobook I’ve downloaded on Audible. The first half is just the authors telling you what they’ll eventually tell you, again and again. And when they finally do, it turns out there’s barely anything there.

The so-called “actionable” insights are either extremely basic or entirely unhelpful. If you’ve ever used ChatGPT or paid even minimal attention to AI, you won’t learn a thing. The core ideas could have been covered in a short blog post or a two-page article. Instead, the book drags on with empty repetition and generic statements.

It’s not a widely discussed book, which makes the five-star average even more confusing. It feels like the early ratings may have come from friends or internal circles. Unless you’re completely new to the concept of AI, this book has nothing to offer. Save your time.

Shallow, Repetitive, and Not Worth Your Time
