/ About this event

Creative and marketing teams got AI tools faster than almost anyone, and many feel buried by the output. Matt Perry and Rob Cannon, PhD, co-founders of Average Robot and co-authors of The Elephant in the Algorithm, talk about what that has done to the people making the work. Matt has spent thirty years in marketing and creative. Rob is an organizational psychologist who studies how teams take on new ways of working. They will look at the resistance many creative leaders are seeing and what it can teach them. Q&A follows, for leaders of creative and marketing teams.
