Week 5 - MBA 6101 - Mozilla Foundation

 As technology advances, policy change and implementation lags behind. The ACCESS Act is a proposed legislation to enable end users to move their content from social media platforms. This is important because it creates an environment of competition and gives more access to end users. It will help new companies have an equal standing with other social media platforms as well. 

Not only will it promote competition but will help privacy for end users. As an end user, we should have the right to move our content to another platform and have privacy control on who sees our content. Hopefully in time this legislation will pass and provide a more equitable market for social media as well as more privacy for end users.

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - AI Text

The article discusses the use of AI writing text through key word searches. It is interesting because the article argues AI could and may be the future of writing as it evolves. AI could lead the future in marketing but it may not. I just finished reading the book, Tipping Point . In the book the author, Malcolm Gladwell, discusses the spread of an idea or disease in how it is kept stable until it reaches a tipping point and spreads to more people and continues to spread.  Although online advertisement is effective now, will it be as effective in five years.

Telemarketing became popular because of the rise in phones. Over the years the effectiveness of telemarketing has decreased as people block calls. As AI predict and advertise to recently purchased items or key words in searches, people may block the online...

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

This chapter focuses on AI and the community that is learning how to build AI. It is important to learn, adopt, and becoming adept in AI but also being part of the community to make it happen is important as well. By learning together AI can be created to achieve magnificent goals and achievements. A scientist does not discover new knowledge alone but rather has a team taht works together to gain knowledge. By doing so it enhances the learning and the wealth of knowledge is shared. Just like in in science, the AI community needs to share what they learn to enhance AI interface. One of the biggest problems that i can see is the lack of a workforce to do strenuous jobs taht require physical labor such as moving packages. If an AI could be developed and made to figure the most effective route and move items more efficiently, it could replace human labor. Those jobs may be lost but it creates new jobs in AI maintenance, development, and repair. By working as a community, robots with AI cou...

Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Guerrilla Marketing

Market research is important to understanding your customer base. Guerilla Marketing discusses two types or research: free research and paid research. The guerilla should take advantage of the free research to better appeal to their base and tailor their advertisement. One of the easiest ways is to have an informal survey that can be sent online or filled out at the time of purchase. I remember when I bought my first car a few years after graduating from college. The dealership wanted to know age, race, income, residency, and occupation. They wanted to know this to see who was buying their cars and how to tailor their ads to their future clients. One easy way to have a promotional discount such as new graduate discounts to outsell competitors in the same market. By focusing in on current and future clients and giving them a small but sizable discount, they can undersell competitors and build their client base. It works because I would go back to that dealership to look f...
