This week Paul and Mike talk about three AI stories in the news and add their take on these developments and what it means for marketers and business leaders. On October 4, the White House released what it calls an “AI Bill of Rights,” a document that offers a blueprint of “five principles that should guide the design, use, and deployment of automated systems.” It is not binding in any way, legally or otherwise. But they are an important initial effort by the US government to draw attention to the impact of artificial intelligence on our daily lives. In an exclusive interview with McKinsey released in late September, Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, a world-leading AI expert, investor, and author spoke with McKinsey about how business leaders can use AI in their operations and what it means to be a truly AI-driven company. Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, just released Make-A-Video, an AI system that turns text prompts into machine-generated video clips. This means you can type in a prompt, like “a horse drinking water,” and Make-A-Video will understand the prompt and create a video clip of it in a specific style. This type of generative AI does for video what a tool like DALL-E 2 does for images: it creates unique visuals from a simple text prompt in seconds. The tool isn’t yet publicly available like DALL-E 2 but has major implications for businesses and creators.
