33. But not every
company needs an
AI plan now. AI
should be brought in
when a company is
aware of specific
need or processes
they want to scale
Marketers must
embrace the benefits
AI/VR can provide as
well as look for new
and creative ways to
make this technology
work to their, and their
customers’ benefit.
When
Considering AI
Goals,
Companies
Should Be
Realistic And
Pragmatic!
