The more time I spend with AI, the more I realize how much humanity matters.
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since the Marketing AI Conference (MAICON) in Cleveland.
MAICON felt different this year. People weren’t just talking about AI tools. They were talking about how to lead through this, how to help their teams adapt, how to make the hard calls about what work changes and who does it.
I shared how the community made me feel in an earlier post (see link in the comments). But there’s more to the story.
The wonderful Crystal Black wrote an article in Colorado AI News that covered the event from multiple angles. Paul Roetzer talked about Move 37 moments and what happens when AI can do what you do. Jeremiah Owyang painted a future where agents buy from agents. Kerry Fitzmaurice, Andy Jolls, and Cathy McPhillips all shared how they’re watching this shift unfold.
The piece connects dots about the choices companies are making right now and why the human decisions matter more than the technology.
