Join Dan Carrigan and Dr. Ben Flusberg, Chief Data Officer at Cox Automotive for a deep dive into the evolution and practical application of AI in auto retail. Dr. Flusberg defines the AI landscape, explaining the shift from predictive to generative and now to agentic AI—where systems execute multi-step automated workflows.

Dr. Flusberg shares his strategic framework: the "AI Pyramid." This model outlines the path to maximizing AI value, moving from basic Insights to Predictions, then Recommendations, and finally to full Automation. He explains that while AI is a "force multiplier" for repetitive tasks, the true challenge is not the technology, but people and process change.

Discover why dealers must aim for vendors who offer integrated systems to avoid "AI sprawl" and empower their teams through upskilling. This is an essential guide for dealership leaders ready to move past AI 101 and redesign their operations for the future.
