Will artificial
intelligence &
machine learning
replace humans?

Always look at human
behaviour first.
We are putting technology as a line-of-
contact / line-of-defense between humans.

Software is eating the

Will Artificial Intelligence replace
marketeers?
Does this mean marketeers will no longer be needed?
The Robot-Marketeer?
or
The Augmented Marketeer.
Let’s define Artificial Intelligence.
There’s a big difference between 

ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) and 

AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
If it’s in the future
and it doesn’t work
yet, we call it AI.

If it’s already here
and it works, we just
call it software.”

We tend to project all our hopes and fears on
non-existing future technology.

We’ve been here before.
We were promised household robots.
Instead we got this.
Technology tends to specialise.
The Robot Marketeer
So will Artificial Intelligence.

If you keep your competences on the level of the
tools and the algorithms, you will be replaced by
them.
Robotisation will not destroy jobs, it will expect
a new kind of jobs.

Experimental

Copy or approximation
Own interpretation
Phases of maturity of technology:
1. Experimental (or immature)
2. Algorithmic (or not self-learning)
3. Approximation (or self-learning) > Operational
4. Own interpretation (self-thinking) > Impact on workforce
1. Experimental
2. Algorithmic
3. Approximation
4. Own interpretation
4. Own interpretation
Estimation of maturity
1. Experimental: someone in the company needs to get in touch
with the technology.
2. Algorithmic: Part of the process can be replaced by the
technology.
3. Approximation: Entire process can be replaced by the
technology.
4. Own interpretation: Current manual labour gets replaced.
Organisation in our agency
1. Experimental: Set up POC’s and separate hype from trend (ie.
Beacons).
2. Algorithmic: Install code and run in pairs with (human) expert
(ie. Chatbot).
3. Approximation: Change 50% of the team, give it a new focus (ie.
Media buying).
4. Own interpretation: Change from expert to consultant (ie. SEO).
What will be the ideal team?
