In the B2B industry, it is important to recognize that AI is not a one-size-fits-all answer. Marketers must grasp the ability to determine where AI improves efforts and where human expertise is still required. AI has substantial gaps in capabilities, particularly in businesses that require sophisticated and exact content and techniques.
B2B Content Creation Problem
Of the 61.4% of marketers who use AI, 44.4% use it to create content. However, AI’s mimicry-based marketing lacks the uniqueness and creativity required in B2B interactions. Human marketers provide strategic insights and emotional understanding that AI cannot replicate, especially in thought leadership content.
AI’s Aesthetic Role In Design
Design is one area where AI falls short of human creativity and judgment. AI-generated designs struggle to match brand specifications and grasp aesthetic principles. Visual AI techniques can swiftly generate design possibilities, but they still do not fully understand how humans perceive and interact with visuals. A skilled human designer possesses an intrinsic insight that AI has yet to match. AI also ignores the subtleties of client requirements, but a human designer can read between the lines and iterate with delicacy, resulting in designs that accurately express a brand’s identity.
High-Stakes Industries: Where Precision is Unavoidable
The global marketing transcription industry is anticipated to grow to $4.4 billion by 2033. B2B marketers in regulated sectors such as legal, medical, and law enforcement understand the importance of clear communication. According to industry expert Ben Walker, CEO of Ditto Transcripts, AI struggles with nuances, which can lead to major inaccuracies and invaluable content. This can undermine trust in a brand and have harmful implications.
The Vital Human Connection
Since the pandemic, demand for in-person events has increased significantly, with the event industry market rising at a CAGR of 6.4%. There is also a growing interest in virtual human connections such as webinars, live broadcasts, and podcasts, which offer genuine human contact. Whether in person or via live broadcast, the human aspect is essential, as real-time interactions and spontaneous engagement are difficult to mimic in digital venues.
Misunderstandings can have major implications for businesses. For example, my organization works with law companies that require public relations for their cases and legislation. It’s important to appropriately attribute quotes and use proper language.
Creating a pitch from an untrustworthy court transcript presents hurdles for public relations professionals. Time is lost in checking AI transcripts, and the rapid stream of news may result in missed opportunities.
Balancing AI and Human Expertise
AI has advantages and disadvantages in areas such as B2B content, design, regulated industries, and live events. Combining human experience and smart technology is critical. Marketers must find a balance between AI’s productivity gains and human talent. The most effective B2B marketers will smoothly use AI tools while emphasizing human factors to promote engagement and trust.
