Join host KiKi L'Italien on Association Chat as she looks into the transformative impact of AI on associations with guests, BettyBot.AI thought leaders: Rob Barnes, Thomas Altman, and Dray McFarlane! Discover how associations are revolutionizing education and engagement through technology – and how BettyBot's leaders are helping them to do it!

Highlights from this discussion include:

Unlocking Forgotten Knowledge: Learn how AI like BettyBot can look into the depths of an association's knowledge base, uncovering valuable documents and resources that even experts within the organization may have forgotten. This ability to augment the human recollection and pull in additional context promises a higher quality of information and resources.

Bridging Knowledge Gaps: The conversation reveals how AI tools can help associations identify gaps in their content and knowledge offerings. By analyzing inquiries and interactions, associations can proactively fill these gaps, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of their industry's needs and inquiries, thus fostering a cycle of continuous improvement and relevance.

Personalized Member Engagement: The episode explores how AI can tailor interactions to each member's specific inquiries, creating a hyper-personalized experience. This level of personalization is unprecedented and can fundamentally change how members engage with their associations, making every interaction meaningful and directly relevant to their needs.

An association introduces its new AI "staff" – and the robot overlords are friendly (for now)...

Welcome to this episode of the Association Chat Podcast, full of the delights and dorkiness that any well-intentioned association podcast talking about technology these days can hardly avoid. 

For this episode, we talk with Liz Peuster, CAE, Director Of Communications & Public Relations for the South Carolina Association of CPAs about how they are using AI, and specifically generative AI, in their association.

Liz has some poignant thoughts about curiosity, ongoing learning, and how to embrace our robot overlords (okay, maybe I made up that last part, but I was looking for some drama). 

Please enjoy this episode and let me know what you think about it. I'm part of a small group of association podcasters who are regularly providing feedback for each other's podcasts now and so I feel the pressure to improve the experience for all of us. Your feedback helps me!
