Lots of AI mandates. Lots of confusion and skepticism. Why is this still largely stuck in this paradigm?For any AI based solution being built, what is the best way to ensure the data input is solid and the resultant outcomes are too? Is there any privacy concern? Can anyone use publicly available data and build solid AI engines and feed generative AI like Chat GPT?CPG field processes such as retail execution are theoretically a good use case for applying AI: lots of data, repeatable processes, labor intensive. Believe you guys are looking into scaling solutions here? Tell us more.Is AI really going to take away jobs? If so, what should those who are impacted be learning to stay relevant and connected to new workstreams that emerge?How can your solutions provide gamification with AI to engage sales employees and therefore attract and retain Gen Z?Take us through the command center, Edge AI and Coach AI. Why is this relevant for sales folks?Since supply chain has been one of the first adopters of AI, will retailers force brands to adapt AI? Where will they go first? what trends are you following in AI that our audience should know?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comRhea Raj’s Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in the band Katseye debut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYg6aMDQ_TA   DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
