Is AI making us more connected—or just more lonely? As smart devices anticipate our every move and hyper-personalization reshapes business, we’re becoming more isolated than ever. In this episode of Innovation Tales, Alexandre Nevski and AI expert Shahar Boyayan dive into the paradox of AI-driven convenience: How do businesses use automation without losing the human touch? Where’s the line between personalization and privacy invasion? And what happens when consumers expect brands to really see them? Tune in for a thought-provoking look at the future of AI, authenticity, and consumer trust. Key Takeaways Automate with purpose: Use AI to handle repetitive tasks but ensure critical touchpoints remain human-led. Prioritize transparency: Clearly communicate how AI-driven personalization works and allow customers to control their data. Emphasize authenticity: Consumers engage more with brands that feel real.
