Shark Tank mentor Kevin O'Leary opens up about AI, its benefits, and more

Sally Mousa's latest Power Play episode featured Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, who shared his thoughts on the most trending topic these days: Artificial Intelligence (AI). When she asked his views on whether the AI was going to "replace" CEOs or it would make the existing CEOs ten times "richer," Kevin responded:

"I think it's the latter. I think it'll make everybody richer if they learn how to use the tool. I think the biggest challenge about AI now and being realized is that there's two generations, people that know how to use it and those that don't. It's a re-education to understand how to use the models."

According to the Shark Tank mentor, he has been using AI in his various businesses. One of the examples he shared was having a copywriter write a 95-word and a 15-second social media post. After having the writer write it, they would have it checked through "five different models" of AI to determine which one is more effective.

With that, he mentioned, they could determine which model works better and delivers "better engagement."

"So we'll let the copywriter write the first pass and then we'll put it through five different models. Then we'll test it and see which one gets better engagement."

Reflecting on how things were quite different five years ago, compared to the current time, Kevin mentioned that having an AI would allow us to do so much more in a "fraction" of the cost, comparatively.

He then talked about the digital images, CAC models, and ROAS tests:

"We can do all that for a fraction of the cost that would have been five years ago. In the actual images too. The digital images or the language spoken in that post because most CAC models, customer acquisition costs and ROAS tests. So, most businesses are now 50 percent direct consumer and consumer goods and services. So CAC and ROAS are the whole model, AI is all over that."

Sharing more about how he leverages AI for the benefit of his companies, Shark Tank mentor said that AI was the most beneficial tool. He mentioned using AI in content creation. For that, he noted that his "number one AI guy" for the company lived in UAE.

Further in their discussion, they also discussed the global economy, Elon Musk, Canada, and other topics.
