Whether you’re an executive leading AI initiatives or a professional looking to understand the evolving AI landscape, this episode provides valuable insights. AI implementation in organizations often begins with identifying specific pain points where AI can make a measurable impact. Starting small with focused projects allows companies to integrate AI tools into existing processes, ensuring smoother transitions and quicker results. This approach minimizes disruption while enabling scalability as the AI solution proves its value. A structured framework is essential for organizations starting their AI journey.

AI is dominating the tech industry, from new LLMs being released to new startups being formed to who will have the most GPUs. The multi-cloud and AI announcements dominated Oracle's flagship annual conference this week. Today's edition covers all essential products and features announced during the CloudWorld 2024 but before I start the highlights from this week's conference, let me give you some context as it reminded the keynote during the 2022 conference. The 'Internet of clouds' statement made by Oracle CTO Larry Ellison during the opening keynote at Oracle CloudWorld 2022 enables customers to choose cloud services from various vendors and to go for the best cloud service from the cloud vendors. The words that stuck in my mind were "Internet of clouds." What does it mean that, as he said, we need to build clouds like the Internet, which are interconnected and interoperable? Customers have all the choices of services, irrespective of what the vendors are; they are connected. And if I recall, a couple of years back, the discussion in which I covered in Podcast: 105 – Multi-cloud benefits, challenges, and adoption , that one of the fundamental problems we are having in the adoption of the cloud is silo clouds.

AI and the Art of Advertising with Robert Brill 35:42

1 year پیش35:42

35:42

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI tools designed to generate text-based content. In advertising, these models use data to produce compelling, creative copy that resonates with targeted audiences. This includes everything from catchy headlines to detailed product descriptions and persuasive sales pitches. How it is being done: Data Input: LLMs require input of existing data such as product information, target audience characteristics, and company branding guidelines. This data helps the model understand the context and requirements of the advertising campaign. Content Generation: The model processes the input data using its pre-trained knowledge base to generate relevant and engaging copy. The AI considers language patterns, industry terminology, and brand voice in its output. Review and Refinement: While LLMs can produce high-quality initial drafts, it's important to note that they are not perfect. The generated content often goes through a review process where marketing professionals adjust to ensure that the final copy aligns perfectly with campaign goals and audience expectations. This is because LLMs may not always capture the nuances of human language or understand the specific context of a brand or product. The benefits: Efficiency: LLMs empower marketing professionals by dramatically reducing the time required to produce creative content. What might take hours for a human can be accomplished in minutes, allowing businesses to respond quickly to market changes and opportunities. Consistency: These models help maintain a consistent voice across all marketing materials. Consistency is crucial for brand recognition and customer trust, and LLMs ensure that every piece of content aligns with the brand's established style and tone. Scalability: LLMs offer businesses the potential for exponential growth in their content production without a proportional increase in resources or costs. This is especially beneficial for campaigns targeting different demographics or requiring multilingual content, as the AI can adapt and produce varied content efficiently, instilling a sense of optimism about the potential of their campaigns. By integrating LLMs into their advertising strategies, businesses can leverage these benefits to enhance their marketing efforts, leading to better engagement and increased sales. Today we will have a guest speaker Robert Brill, Chief Executive Officer at Brill Media, who has been a dynamic part of the advertising industry since 2003. Our earlier session on the area of marketing was with Emanuel Rose, the CEO of Strategic eMarketing, Episode number 119 , and he shared with us the tips to build brand authenticity in the age of AI and actionable tips to develop your brand even if you are working in an organization Episode # 134 Today's Guest: Robert Brill, Chief Executive Officer, Brill Media Robert has been immersed in the advertising industry since 2003. He is passionate about cultivating brands and propelling businesses forward. He loves creative testing and business insights. Website: Brill Media Linkedin: Robert Brill Listeners will gain valuable knowledge from an industry expert on leveraging limited resources for maximum effect, selecting the right platforms for growth, and utilizing new technologies like generative AI to streamline and enhance advertising strategies. What Listeners Will Learn: Insights into how organizations with limited budgets can effectively engage in social marketing to maximize their impact.

In recent years, how we interact with technology has dramatically shifted, largely thanks to the advancements in Generative AI. This leap forward has transformed virtual assistants and voice user interfaces, making our interactions with different brands more accessible, more engaging, and human-like. Generative AI has empowered virtual assistants to understand and respond in incredibly natural ways. For example, when you ask a virtual assistant powered by Generative AI for cooking advice, it can provide recipes, tips, alternatives for missing ingredients, and follow-up questions to tailor the advice further.

Cloud Adoption Framework is a set of best practices, tools, and guides that most public cloud vendors publish. The idea behind these cloud adoption frameworks is to assist organizations to embrace public cloud securely, efficiently and faster. The cloud adoption framework comprises each phase of cloud acceptance, from planning to living in the cloud. It provides a very well-tested checklist and steps to choose the right path for cloud migration and the right tools to help reduce potential security, governance, and budget problems. The good thing about the cloud adoption framework is that it covers technological, people, processes and business aspects. Therefore, it helps to align business strategies with the culture, business and technology inspirations to achieve the business benefits. Cloud growth The cloud adoption framework is your guide to making the most of your cloud investment. Most organizations are adopting the cloud as per the IDG’s 2020 Cloud Computing study reveals that 92% of the organizations are somewhat in the cloud. Organizations must adapt to the cloud with proper planning and strategy in place. However, I observe that even if they have the strategy, they have just started consuming the cloud with the migration of simple applications and don’t have any proper framework or rules to follow. Another challenge I am seeing is that organizations don’t have clear visibility to their digital estate. When you start planning about cloud migration or adoption, the first question that comes to mind is to discover or assess the current IT state, which sometimes becomes painful to complete. Sometimes, what is being observed is that relevant stakeholders don’t know where to start and the requirements or initial checklist they need to follow to migrate to the cloud. According to Gartner , if we map to the trends impacting cloud adoption, there are four critical areas. Cost optimization will drive cloud adoption Multicloud will reduce vendor lock-in Insufficient cloud IaaS skills will delay migrations Distributed cloud will support expanded service availability There is no doubt that each organization is unique with the operating model, products, services, organizational infrastructure and technology. Now adopting the cloud also depends on the business functions, services and applications are used in the organization; it will be unique to every organization. However, as we are seeing, most organizations are moving to the cloud, so we can say there is a pattern emerging. These frameworks are the results of these patterns concluded from a large number of cloud migrations journeys. Take an example of the work done by the Open Data Center Alliance Cloud Adoption Framework Another paper was presented during the 2017 international conference on information systems and computer science with the name “Unified Cloud Computing Adoption Framework.” which describes the process in six steps framework, current situation definition, requirements definition, providers analysis, providers assessment, decision, and migration. Another interesting and the most I like Enterprise Cloud Adoption Framework developed and shared by the MITRE and targeted areas to address are Political leadership, Organizational, Economic, Technical and Security (POETS) factors. You’ll Learn: Different Cloud Adoption Frameworks: What is ECAF? What are the common Cloud Adoption frameworks? Why frameworks are important for the journey to the cloud? How different cloud vendors are treating these frameworks?
