Brand New World (Fast Company )

Artificial Intelligence will be the single most disruptive force the world has ever seen. It will change the way we work, the way we communicate, even the very nature of our existence. The world as we know it will be torn down and AI will build a new utopia from the ashes. Or . . . maybe it will do none of that! In reality, it’s way too early to predict the scope of AI’s impact on the world. But, one area we are starting to see AI have some mastery over is the world of advertising. Welcome to ‘Brand New World,’ a podcast about this nascent moment in marketing and advertising as it all begins to take shape. Join ‘Fast Company’ senior staff editor Jeff Beer who takes a look at how creatives see their work evolving, how ad agencies are embracing this technology, and how big companies such as Google and Coca-Cola are leading the way in deploying AI to grow their brands. Jeff has been covering marketing and brands for the past two decades—during which he’s seen Burger King’s Subservient Chicken, Mac versus PC, Red Bull jump into the stratosphere, and a ‘Barbie’ movie—but never anything quite like this.
