#845: Bright Data Chief Product Officer Ariel Shulman on why access to real-time web data is critical in the age of autonomous AI

Today, we’re going to talk about the foundational element that will determine the winners and losers in the age of AI: access to high-quality, real-time web data. As AI agents become more autonomous and LLMs more integrated into our workflows, the quality of the public web data they consume is no longer an academic concern—it’s a critical business imperative that impacts everything from competitive intelligence to dynamic pricing and customer experience. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Ariel Shulman, Chief Product Officer at Bright Data.


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.
