In a recent State of the Consumer webinar, Suzy did a deep dive into how AI is reshaping the way we work and learn at breakneck speed. As we gear up for the new school year, we will discuss the changes for the future of education. Are consumers prepared to let AI join the class, or should brands hit the reset button and teach parents the ABCs of AI before integrating it into their daily lives?

Watch it today for insights from  Suzy’s Founder & CEO Matt Britton, Lee Gaul, Director of Growth at Copyleaks & Adam Kahn, Chief Creative Officer, Grey, for the latest webinar in our State of the Consumer series.

"AI is a powerful tool in education, not only for aiding in teaching but also for maintaining academic integrity. Platforms like Copyleaks can effectively mitigate plagiarism." - Lee Gaul

Check out these 5 key takeaways from our AI Back to School Season SOC:

  1. Role of AI in Education: AI will have a transformative impact on the education system. But what are the potential benefits and how do parents feel about its integration into the classroom? As it turns out, the majority of parents are comfortable with AI— mainly to assist in administrative tasks for teachers.
  1. Parents' Concerns and AI: Despite the optimism, parents still have concerns about the safety, well-being, and privacy of their children related to AI. The webinar discusses how AI can address these concerns and how brands can effectively communicate the advantages of AI to parents.
  1. AI and Plagiarism: Plagiarism is a growing issue in the education sector—and AI may be able to help mitigate it. The webinar brings in the perspective of Lee Gaul from Copyleaks, a company specializing in AI-based plagiarism detection.
  1. Impact on Advertising: Adam Kahn from Grey discusses the influence of AI on advertising, focusing on authenticity and product depiction. The webinar explores how AI can optimize production, create identical visuals to the product, and maintain authenticity.
  1. Blockchain and AI in Education: The webinar explores the potential of blockchain technology in content authentication and the implications of AI on talent content creation. The discussion also covers the ethical dilemmas of using AI-generated diverse talent in advertising and the potential of blockchain and NFTs in authenticating educational content.
