Recognized in the Forbes list of ‘The World’s Most Influential CMOs’, Ravi Santhanam joins us in this episode of Slaves to the Algo to talk about the evolution of AI in the banking sector. Ravi uses his 20+ years of experience to explain how marketing can become more data-driven. The brand message is now decentralized – consumers have enormous power to influence the brand.

Ravi suggests how modern marketers can leverage AI to make the customer experience richer without sacrificing the human touch.
