It seems like AI has been the word (or acronym?) on everyone’s lips for a while now. Elon Musk, part-time billionaire, part-time Twitter Overlord, co-signed a letter in March 2023, alongside industry leaders and tech experts, calling for a halt into the research and development of artificial intelligence.
The letter was released after OpenAI’s latest release, Chat GPT-4 which they believed could pose a risk to human society. I know this sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but AI’s been a big part of society for a long time. Machine learning has been a fundamental element of technology advancement as far back as the 1940s, and whilst the recent developments might seem daunting, there’s no doubt AI tools are going to change the future.
As we saw with the advent of the internet, how businesses anticipate and adapt to use AI tools in the future will ultimately decide their fate.
Not including Chat GPT-4, here are 5 tools that digital marketers can start to use today.

Poised AI is a real-time communication coach, that aims to help improve your communication skills when on video calls and similar. Imagine you’re in a video-call job interview, and there’s an AI assistant to discreetly tell you when you’re saying too many “uhhs and errs.” Amazing or offputting?
