How to Start Using AI for Your Business

Gary Vaynerchuk sits down with Rashawn Dhanraj of Adobe Brand Studio and Grace Kao of Snap for a panel discussion on AI and creativity. He argues the industry is approaching AI with the wrong mindset—driven by ego and insecurity rather than curiosity—and that strategists stand to gain the most from the technology. He explains why the separation of media and creative is a structural mistake that AI can help correct, and compares learning AI today to mastering the internet in 1999. Ultimately, he reframes the algorithm as nothing more than consumer attention, urging marketers to focus on making content people actually want to see.
