I’m a total podcast junkie, and today I’m bringing you another episode in my 'Snips' series, where I share bite-sized highlights from fascinating conversations and add my personal commentary. This one’s a crossover between Commerce Media Matters and Mind the Model, a newer podcast that’s quickly made its way into my regular rotation (find both shows under 'Links & Resources' below).

The snips I’m sharing today tackle a fascinating and urgent question for our industry: What happens to a retailer’s data advantage when AI platforms like ChatGPT start processing transactions? Spoiler alert: the answer might not be as bleak as you think.
