CPG Guys Podcast: Generative AI impacts on the CPG industry

Earlier in July, I had the pleasure of being on the?CPG Guys ?Podcast, catching up with old friends Peter V.S. Bond & Bryan Gildenberg on the impacts #GenAI will have on the CPG industry in the near term.

Topics covered in the podcast:

1) What is artificial intelligence, how does it relative to the term machine learning, and what are some practical examples of how AI has been applied in the CPG industry before generative AI?

2) What is generative AI, what are the most prevalent forms of output for generative AI, and why is this technological innovation so crucial to our industry?

3) What are the different categories of AI, and what makes generative AI fundamentally different from the prior forms?

4) How does generative AI work? What are the data input sources, and how are generative AI algorithms “trained” to produce relevant output?

5) Digging into the textual-based form of generative AI. How are natural language models applied to generate new forms of content, and how is this transforming search from vertical to horizontal?

6) How about text-to-image applications for generative AI? Exactly how do they work, and do you have some examples that people might be familiar with?

7) What specific tools & applications are you seeing companies leverage to start entering or expanding their use of generative AI for commercial growth?
