Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar – with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, fractional marketing leader and author Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.
This week, Robert has a fabulous cocktail for the Californian sunshine, and him and Ian discuss a LinkedIn post by author, keynote speaker, and business transformation consultant Tom Goodwin that starts with the line “The less you know about something, the better the AI solution seems to be” and they dive into the idea around the AI skills and the absurd idea of AI business goals.
They discuss:
- Generative AI requires subject matter expertise to be effective.
- Hiring for AI skills
- Using AI as a research assistant not as a replacement for knowledge
- The role of creativity versus efficiency in AI applications.
- What does AI business transformation mean?
- The mistakes AI can make
Do you have a question for the bar? Or maybe an opinion on what we’ve discussed? Please get in touch – just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
