Generative AI isn't just hype—it's already creating real value in business. In this episode of TinyTechGuides Talks, I sit down with Yves Mulkers, my co-author of "Generative AI Business Applications," to talk about how AI is making a real difference in practical, down-to-earth ways.

We started out wanting to write a simple report, but it quickly became something much bigger—a full book with actual real-world use cases. In this conversation, we cover:

Over 70 examples of how generative AI is being applied across industries.
How businesses can get started without feeling overwhelmed.
The risks and challenges with using AI, including data privacy issues.
Why our book stands out: it’s full of practical advice, not unrealistic promises.
If you’re an executive wondering if AI is right for your company or just curious about the practical side of AI, this video gives solid, real-world insights.

AI-generated content is everywhere, but is it helping or just creating more noise? In this video, I explore the concept of AI Entropy—when AI keeps generating content based on already AI-generated material, leading to a vicious cycle of diminishing quality.

For businesses, AI Entropy is a real risk. Relying solely on AI can result in generic, low-value content that fails to engage your audience and undermines your brand. But there’s a way out: use AI as a tool, not a crutch. Pair it with your unique perspective and a human touch to create meaningful, impactful content.
