Join us as we meet Nadio Granata, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a GCologist, as well as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing. Born an Italian-English citizen in the UK, Nadio recounts his adventurous journey, including leaving home and school on his 16th birthday, hitchhiking across Australia and cycling from the UK to Egypt and back.

He delves into his unique marketing path, highlighting his social entrepreneurial spirit and cofounding The Age of Human Think Tank.

Nadio offers his unique and perhaps controversial insights on the evolving marketing landscape and the key skills marketers should develop to stay ahead. He delves into the transformative role of AI in marketing and entrepreneurship, discussing how digital and societal marketing, along with the Internet of Things, have revolutionised the field, especially for micro-businesses. Learn how AI tools, from copywriting to transcribing to scientific breakthroughs, save marketers time and explore the varied roles of marketers in the AI-driven world.

The discussion also dives into the impact of AI on education, comparing the shift from abacus to calculators and the importance of managing AI's public perception and ethical considerations. Nadio shares his experience in training his personal chatbot and launching a new Level 6 Award in Marketing with AI, endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, to be delivered by him through the Cambridge Professional Academy starting in January.

He explains his vision of democratising AI and establishing a worldwide time banking system for AI savvy enthusiasts, members of the AI Collective, giving freely of their time in exchange for others “who might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about AI”, repay the favour by volunteering the equivalent time back into their local communities. It’s genius!

We conclude with an analysis of AI's potential across various sectors, its societal implications, and a forward-looking perspective on technological advancements just around the corner.
