Will surpass linear TV IN 2025
Will double linear TV in 2027.
That’s within 3 years!

Worth a read. I maintain that while #AI is benificial, we need thoughtful, considered, measured adoption
Draw your own inferences. But this is why I keep saying setting guardrails is important, especially for an emerging tech.

FOOD FIGHT #Walmart VS #Target, #Aldi VS #Lidl, #Kroger and #Albertsons VS the #FTC and #Congress. Then there is #DollarGeneral. 2023 promises to be one of the most turbulent years ever in the business of selling #groceries, with skirmishes across the entire channel. @robinreport
