AI is Ending the Social Media Era and What Comes Next | Gary Vee

Video Description

Gary Vaynerchuk is an entrepreneur, investor, and one of the earliest pioneers of the social media economy. His career has been defined by his ability to spot major shifts in technology and culture long before they become obvious. In this conversation, Gary and I debate whether we may be at the beginning of the end of the social media era as we know it, and how artificial intelligence is already cracking the current value proposition of today’s platforms. We explore the contrast between the emerging data showing that specifically Gen Alpha are spending more time offline and then what the future looks like with AI-generated content, voice-first technology, and the rise of augmented reality. We also dive into what this means for creators and brands and how people can start positioning themselves now for the massive shifts ahead.
