#840: Adobe’s Hannah Elsakr on what happens after the hype: operationalizing AI at enterprise scale
Today, we’re going to talk about what happens after the initial hype cycle of generative AI. We’re moving past the novelty of prompting for images and into the far more complex challenge of operationalizing AI at enterprise scale. This isn’t just about adding a new tool; it’s about re-architecting the entire creative supply chain and redefining the role of human judgment in a world of content abundance. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Hannah Elsakr, VP of New GenAI Business Ventures at Adobe.
From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
