S2-E10: Building the “self-driving car” of digital advertising: how to drive profit with AI in advertising

Nikhil and Piyush discuss the evolution of digital advertising and the transformative role of AI. We explore the shift from traditional advertising to the sophisticated AI-driven campaigns of today, and how AI has enabled companies like Airbnb to turn advertising from a cost center into a profit making machine. We discuss the importance of measurement and profitability, and how AI is automating sophisticated targeting and bidding strategies to help businesses grow profitably. === ⏰ CHAPTERS === 00:00: Introduction to digital advertising 06:19: The evolution of advertising: from traditional to digital 29:56: How Airbnb turned advertising into a profit center 50:55: Self-driving AI advertising to optimize for profit === 🧠 KEY CONCEPTS === - Traditional vs. Digital Advertising: The early days of digital marketing replicated traditional advertising models with digital banners and impressions. AI is now transforming these strategies by optimizing for actual conversions and profit, eliminating much of the guesswork. - AI-Powered Advertising: Google and Meta’s AI platforms are making sophisticated marketing accessible by automating complex processes like bidding, targeting, and creative generation, allowing advertisers to focus on profit-driven goals. - From Impressions to Conversions: Businesses can now optimize directly for conversions and profit, turning digital marketing into a money-printing machine rather than a cost center. - Key Metrics and Strategy: The most advanced advertising programs are now focusing on maximizing contribution margin (profitability per product), using advanced tracking and AI-powered optimization. - Incrementality and Attribution: With tools like incrementality testing, businesses can scientifically measure the true impact of their advertising spend, ensuring they allocate budgets efficiently and profitably. === 🔗 LINKS === - Homepage: https://artscienceai.substack.com/about - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtScience-AI - Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/art-science-ai - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/art-science-ai - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtScienceAI - Instagram: http://instagram.com/artscienceai/ - Threads: https://www.threads.net/@artscienceai - Twitter / X: https://x.com/ArtScienceAI === 💬 KEYWORDS === #AI #GenAI #LLM #ChatGPT #podcast

S2-E6: Will the AI revolution lead to mass unemployment?

In this episode, Nikhil and Piyush discuss the fear of AI leading to mass unemployment. We consider historical precedents such as the Industrial Revolution and the advent of Personal Computers to understand how past technological revolutions led to both job loss as well as new job creation. We consider whether this time is truly different with the AI revolution, the societal implications of these changes, and the importance of jobs as not only a source of economic value, but also as a key source of meaning in the modern world. = ⏰ CHAPTERS =00:00: Introduction03:32: Historical parallel 1 - the Industrial Revolution09:36: Historical parallel 2 - the Personal Computer revolution17:54: AI's impact on the future of work28:35: Societal implications = 🧠 KEY CONCEPTS = Historical Context: The Industrial Revolution of the 1800s and the Personal Computer Revolution of the 1990s are two important historical parallels to help us understand the AI revolution. Job loss and new job creation: Technological revolutions in the past have led to the loss of many jobs as well as the creation of many new jobs that did not previously exist (e.g. software engineering). AGI Concerns: The potential arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) raises unique concerns about the future of all jobs, posing questions about the role of humans in a fully automated world. Societal Rebalancing: Technological upheavals historically cause short-term societal disruptions but eventually lead to new equilibria. The current AI wave may require new societal models, such as Universal Basic Income, to address economic disparities. Meaning and Value: The need to reconsider how we assign value and meaning to work in a society increasingly driven by AI capabilities, moving beyond purely economic contributions. = 🔗 LINKS = Homepage: https://artscienceai.substack.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtScience-AI Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/art-science-ai Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/art-science-ai Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtScienceAI Instagram: http://instagram.com/artscienceai/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@artscienceai Twitter / X: https://x.com/ArtScienceAI = 💬 KEYWORDS =#AI #GenAI #LLM #ChatGPT #podcast

S2-E4: Beyond ChatGPT Mastery: How to automate the boring stuff with AI and APIs

In this episode we discuss how to go beyond mastering ChatGPT to automating your tasks using AI APIs. We introduce the concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and how they can be used to automate tasks to help you free up your time and scale up your productivity. Nikhil gives a live demo of an AI automation tool he built to help automate repetitive parts of Piyush's workflow as a sales executive, where he has to manually conduct research on each new client to prepare for sales meetings. The automation transforms a labor-intensive process into a seamless workflow, which saves time and improves productivity for sales executives like Piyush. We explore the technical aspects of API integration and discuss the broader implications of AI in personal productivity. Whether you're in sales, tech, or just curious about AI, this episode offers valuable insights into making AI work for you. === ⏰ CHAPTERS === 00:00: Benefits of automation 07:59: Understanding APIs and the AI ecosystem 24:33: Automating Piyush's sales research 38:04: Exploring Use Cases for AI and Automation 51:38: AI automation for personal productivity === 🧠 KEY CONCEPTS === - Importance of Automation: Automation frees up time and increases productivity by enabling repetitive tasks to be done in the background - Importance of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): APIs allow different applications to interact with each other without human intervention. - The role of programming: No-code platforms such as Zapier and Make enable users to create automation workflows without any programming knowledge. But these platforms are limited, and having some basic programming knowledge enables you to leverage the full power of AI and APIs for automation. - Use cases for automation: Nikhil gives a live demo of an AI automation tool he built to help automate repetitive parts of Piyush's workflow as a sales executive, where he has to manually conduct research on each new client to prepare for sales meetings. The same concept can be extended to automate a wide range of workflows. === 🔗 LINKS === - Homepage: https://artscienceai.substack.com/about - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtScience-AI - Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/art-science-ai - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/art-science-ai- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtScienceAI - Instagram: http://instagram.com/artscienceai/ - Threads: https://www.threads.net/@artscienceai - Twitter / X: https://x.com/ArtScienceAI === 💬 KEYWORDS === #AI #GenAI #LLM #ChatGPT #podcast
