It’s our big year-end blow-out! For this episode, we’re joined by AI expert extraordinaire, Jeremiah Owyang, as we each make three bold predictions for AI in 2024. Anyone who knows Jeremiah knows that he’s made a career out of being a step or two ahead of just about everyone else when it comes to making sense of the intersection between business and technology. For anyone who doesn’t know him, Jeremiah is a long-time industry analyst turned entrepreneur and venture capitalist whose Llama Lounge events have become must-attend soirees in Silicon Valley’s AI startup scene.
Geoff and Greg first met Jeremiah back in the early days of social media. So, what happens when you get three veteran martech monsters together to share their takes on what lies ahead for artificial intelligence? Fireworks!
Quick programming note. We’ll be on hiatus through the winter holidays, then back in action for the new year. Thank you for listening, watching, and supporting the show this year — we’re looking forward to being back with you in the next one. Meanwhile: Stay safe. Stay healthy. And have a happy, happy holiday.
And with that, let’s get into the predictions!
