Episode notes

One thing I love about this show that happens to me frequently is that the interview essentially turns into a private consulting session for me (that’s how good the information is!)

So today’s topic I have avoided as long as I could and it is now at the point where I can’t ignore it anymore (especially as the social platforms are starting to incorporate it to).

Today I am talking with Chris Carr about the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Branding. Chris is a rising thought leader specifically in AI and is the co-founder and head of Farotek, a digital marketing agency that really has leveraged AI and AI's impact on SEO.

Today we are diving into AI and branding. I'm big on personal branding, but as we discussed today, when it comes to AI, you get out what you put in. We talk about how you can use AI as a partner and as a tool that does not replace the human side. We're also going to get into some big issues right now with the fast growth of AI regarding what content can be used to train the AI, how thought leaders can approach it, and how it changes the rules of the game when it comes to SEO.

Tune in as we talk about:

[03:29] How is Artificial Intelligence (AI) defined?

[05:18] Can AI be trained to sound like you and your brand? What is the best way to train it? Is AI a utility for my brand? Chris tells us what chat priming is and the right and wrong ways to do it.

[11:36] How do you use the AI to know more about your audience?

[13:21] We all know that the information found on the internet is not reliable. So what information is being fed into these AI tools to teach them? Can we rely on it?

[17:34] Can we protect our thought leadership from feeding the AI and eventually from informing our competition?

[20:49] How is AI impacting SEO performance on content creation?

[23:08] Chatbots are a rudimentary AI. Some things that Chris has seen would blow your mind![25:31] Will AI replace humans?

[27:07] What are three ways brands can get started using AI to help them with their branding efforts?
