Today, we are launching a new series: The Digital Alchemist: How to Turn AI into Marketing Gold. In this series, we'll explore how AI revolutionizes how brands communicate, create, and connect with their audiences.

In today's episode, we look at how AI can be used for content marketing – from brainstorming content ideas to generating content.

Rebecca Nelson, is an experienced content writer who's seen the evolution of marketing content from print articles to social media and immersive experiences like gaming, AR/VR, and now AI-based.

In today's episode, we look at a very hot and highly debated topic: AI in Higher Education. While AI promises to enhance personalized learning, streamline administrative processes, and even help research, AI also brings ethical, legal, and practical issues.

Jeff Dillon founded EdTech Connect to help colleges and universities find the right tech solutions for their work and in the classroom. He is the recipient of multiple awards for leveraging mobile technology to advanced higher ed.

In today's episode, we are joined by Juming Lai. Juming holds two master's degrees from North Carolina State University and the University of California at Berkley. Her latest AI-based development was an application that optimizes residential demand to balance solar, battery, EV, and base loads to reduce usage and cost.

Together, we'll explore the state of AI today, its potential, challenges, and legal and ethical considerations. We'll also look at the crystal ball to see what AI has in store for us in 2024.
