It was a busy week in the world of artificial intelligence! Mike and Paul are back on The Marketing AI Show to discuss three AI hot topics in the news. They’ll add their take on these developments and what it means for marketers and business leaders—and perhaps with an idea or two on how the Marketing AI Institute could support you.

Gartner came out with a report identifying seven technology disruptions that will transform sales over the next five years. Gartner says sales leaders need to recognize, prioritize and respond to these disruptions: generative artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin of the customer, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), machine customers, digital humans, emotion AI, and multimodality. 

Next, It was a good week for generative AI funding. Stability AI, the world's first community-driven, open-source artificial intelligence (AI) company, raised $101 million in funding. Additionally, Jasper secured a $125 million series A funding round at a $1.5 billion valuation.
