A bi-annual poll of U.S. marketing leaders found that social media investments have declined to their lowest level in seven years. An analysis of poll data suggests that lack of strategy fit, weak returns, and new competition from retail media may help explain this dip. Researchers leverage their findings to offer suggestions to marketers on how to overcome past strategy misalignment in order to continue to benefit from social media’s immediacy and pervasiveness, including through the use of Gen

The core value of humanity is our ability to make choices about what matters to us. AI will have all manner of effects over the course of its development. Faced with this, it is important to ask a simple question: should we care about all of those effects? In short, the answer is no. But how do we get there? Let’s imagine that one of the effects of AI is that autocomplete functionality increases the usage of the letter “s” in English-language text and chat messaging by 8%.
