In today’s podcast episode, we discuss how our relationship with screens is changing, how the emergence of consumer-facing AI is influencing the way we spend and divide our attention, and how retailers and brands are designing experiences that people remember rather than simply photograph.
Join Senior Director of Podcasts and host Marcus Johnson, along with Vice President of Content Suzy Davidkhanian, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing at Atmosphere TV Lindsay Sutton, and Chancellor’s Professor Emerita of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, Gloria Mark.
