How to Win in a Future with 100 Billion AI Influencers

In this keynote address to the NextGen community, I talk about the coming tidal wave of AI influencers and what you must do to survive and thrive. I encourage you to diversify your content across multiple platforms, especially YouTube Shorts, as a "defense mechanism from disappearing." I also discuss why selfish content always leads to plateaus and how detaching from the need for admiration is the key to courage and consistency.
You’ll learn about:
- The Inevitable Rise of AI Influencers
- Why Attention is Always Changing
- The Power of Selflessness and Bringing Value to Your Audience
- The Necessity of Platform Diversification (YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Substack)
- Why Building Community Depth Matters More Than Ever
- The Massive Opportunity in Live Shopping
- How to Detach from Admiration and Deal with Judgment
