    The Autonomy of Micro Media

    Brian Morrissey, founder of Rebooting on the future of sustainable media business. The former president and editor in chief of Digiday Media and digital editor at Ad Week believes that the move from mass media to micro media, particularly since the Pandemic, is a power shift from institutions to individuals where AI will be most vibrant part of the media ecosystem. He illustrates his argument with his own model at Rebooting which started with a Substack newsletter, expanded to a podcast, and now offers consultancy and events. Multi-skilled smaller companies which optimise the latest tech and are motivated by autonomy, he says, are the future of the workplace Sustainable media business, he believes will be about a niche media of unique expertise, perspective and personality. www.therebooting.com The Rebooting Show #Media #Business #Ad #Tech #MicroMedia #Leadership

    Itamar Friedman, CEO of Qodo on the evolution of AI in software development, and the changing philosophy of AI.  The former director of Machine Vision, which was bought out by Alibaba, established Codium AI before ChatGPT, predicts a future in which increasingly AI will think like humans, and argues that System  2 Thinking could even improve human reasoning. He gives us an insight into many of the tools that his own company is creating, and explains that jobs for developers will grow rather than fall victim to AI. The need for coders and software engineers, he says, will increase, but their jobs will expand and operate at a higher level. #Business #Leadership #AI #SoftwareEngineer

    How AI + Psychometrics is Transforming the Future of Work

    Juan Betancourt, CEO of Humantelligence on AI-powered HR in the workplace. A graduate of the prestigious endeavor.org accelerator program, his plugin, which is already used by companies like Accenture and UnitedHealthcare, provides real-time psychometric insights in 10-minute assessments, integrating with platforms like Teams, Outlook and Slack. Betancourt argues that its ability to personalize email rewrites and virtual meeting culture analysis will revolutionize the way humans interact in the workplace. But, he says, in a world where AI is going to grow increasingly powerful, the most important components are still human insight, human interaction and human intuition. #AI #Business #Media #FutureofWork #HR

    The Changing of the Guard in Media

    Brian Wieser, principal and CFA at the strategic consultancy for media and technology industries, Madison and Wall on the changing of the guard in the future of media. After his roles as global president at WPP's Group M, the world's largest media services firm, Interpublic's Magna Global and Ad Tech for Simulmedia, he argues that in an age of major global platforms and performance, traditional media planning is no longer needed. Media companies, he says, need to scale up and globalize, and the emphasis on short term and performance will not differentiate companies as much as talent, trust from the investment community and understanding that Brands are key. #Brands #Advertising #Media #Business #AdTech
