Artificial Intelligence (AI) is such a promising technology. It’s so exciting that I worry a little that people treat it like magic. However, it could be that magic is the wrong word. Instead, it could be the same old human biases coming out in ones and zeroes but given a new authority it might not have earned. We discussed this on a recent podcast with our guest, Broderick Turner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Marketing at Virginia Tech.

But I remember I seemed to agree 300 percent with the gap they observed between what women want and look for and marketing messages. Companies still get it wrong.
