Earlier this year I appeared at the humAIn conference in Sydney, an event aimed at marketers who want to take full advantage of the wild capabilities of AI.
The topic here was chatbots - in my case, the chatbot that I built of my friend Parnell McGuinness, a political consultant and columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
Parnell and I were joined by the scene-stealing Emma Barbato and her AI celebrity Bruce Ryder, along with Aaron Mitchie from Foxtel. The session was moderated by Cat McGinn, one of the nicest human beings you could hope to meet.
