Artificial Intelligence is everywhere! But what exactly is it? We know AI can alter photos, write copy, recommend your next movie on Netflix, or run a Google search. But how can AI help us target the best prospects? Three dynamic data analysis all-stars will talk to us through the definition of AI in data modeling, how AI is being used in direct response today, and how we should be thinking about it for tomorrow. They will also discuss how AI can open up new marketing, whether it can eliminate bias in data, and if AI brings up any privacy considerations.

  • Learn the history and role of AI in data targeting. 
  • Harness the power of AI models to get your acquisition message to new audiences and expand the reach of your message.
  • Be able to answer clients' questions (and maybe concerns) about AI in their list plans.
