The big questions: Are we teaching AI to tell us what we want to hear? If AI only knows the past, who discovers the future? And what happens to the $50 billion market research industry?
This week, Shiv Gupta and Myles Younger dive into the biggest AI announcements shaking up advertising right now, including the Amazon vs. Google AI agent wars and what happens when ad platforms automate the work agencies used to do.
For the main event, Chad Reynolds, Founder & CEO of Vurvey Labs, talks synthetic audiences: what they are, how brands are using them to test ideas without recruiting real people, and why Vurvey's approach is different. Chad's building AI models powered by actual human data from 3 million people, not scraped internet content. He reveals where synthetic audiences work (and where they spectacularly fail), how to validate AI-generated insights against real behavior, and whether we're headed toward a world where market research happens entirely without humans.
The question isn't if synthetic audiences will replace traditional research, it's when. You don't want to miss this one.
