"Advances in technology inevitably lead to questions about how it will negatively affect humans and their influence on the world. In this case, it is whether AI, which now gives anyone with a device and internet connection the power to create anything from their imagination, will drown out creators." In Adweek, Mobbie Nazir, our Global Chief Strategy Officer, discusses the evolution of influence, including the themes of collective influence, the impact of AI on creators and the implications of creator-led brands on competitors. These themes are further explored in our LinkedIn Live and blog series - Future of Influence. Tune into episode 2 - 'Humans Only > Humans Extended', to hear about the impact that AI will have on creators. Click here to attend: https://lnkd.in/eJxfV_Zt

🤖💭 The Rise of AI-Generated IG Models: A deep dive into ethical and societal implications As we navigate the digital age, the rise of AI-generated IG models marks a fascinating yet concerning evolution in social media. These virtual influencers are not just a technological marvel; they are becoming a cultural phenomenon. But as their popularity grows, we must consider the broader implications of this trend. The depiction of unattainable beauty standards and the objectification inherent in their design can have profound effects on societal values, particularly impacting the mental health of young audiences who might compare themselves to these idealized figures. This shift towards digital perfectionism threatens the appreciation of natural human beauty, setting a concerning precedent for future generations. As professionals and digital citizens, we must engage in a thoughtful dialogue about the ethical use of AI in shaping public perception and cultural norms. The responsibility to navigate this new frontier wisely lies with us all, ensuring that advancements in AI serve to enrich, rather than diminish, our collective human experience. #DigitalEthics #AIInnovation #SocialMediaEvolution #MentalHealth #TechForGood #AIEthics #DigitalInfluencers
