Parminder Singh on LinkedIn: “How many Taylor Swift fans here ..."
"How many Taylor Swift fans here?" was an unusual question to start the Tatler Industry Dialogues in Manila.
The topic was "Is AI the new architect of marketing?" We had curated a select group of industry practitioners for this discussion.
The question was relevant as Taylor Swift had recently endorsed Kamala Harris, a move prompted by the misuse of her AI-generated images by the rival party.
Any discussion on AI must address both its potential and its potential misuses.
Delving into the Topic
My friend Sherie Ng co-hosted the discussion with me.
One participant remarked, "Whoever you are, AI will help you become more of it. Good people will become better, while those with bad intentions can become more destructive."
Another was confident that marketing is as much a science as it is an art, stating, "Art and beauty can never be confined to the rules of algorithms."
“AI will displace some jobs, but it will create many more”, asserted another participant.
We found common ground on most topics, yet disagreed on some—the hallmark of a great conversation.
Join us at the next Tatler Industry Dialogues. Interesting way to delve into the topic for sure!

A Call to Action
"Saving the starfish is great, scaling the starfish is even better!" said Piyush Gupta, CEO of DBS Bank, during a fireside chat I hosted with him and Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart, for The/Nudge Institute in Singapore.
'Scale the starfish' isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a call to action for all of us!
Trusting Your Gut
Most successful business leaders know this secret: while analyzing data is critical, it's often inconclusive. At some stage, data analysis reaches a point of diminishing returns. You need to know when to trust your gut and apply the KHDJ principle.
KHDJ stands for "karte hain, dekhi jayegi"!
Whenever I've used KHDJ, I haven’t regretted it!
A Journey of Learning
"How stupid can you be?" Miss M shouted, reading my essay. I looked down, feeling the weight of the class's gaze.
I had always been fearful of Miss M, for reasons I couldn't comprehend.
I needed to improve my English. So, I embarked on a journey to learn and grow beyond limitations.
