AI can make marketing faster, smarter and more efficient. But building a brand has never been only about efficiency.

At AIM Summit 2026, this panel looked at some of the questions marketers are dealing with as AI becomes a bigger part of how brands operate. How much should we automate? Where does human judgement still matter? And in the race to move faster, how do brands hold on to what makes them distinctive?

The conversation also brought out a larger point. New tools may change how marketing gets done, but trust, relevance and a genuine understanding of the consumer still matter.

A timely discussion on what AI can bring to brand building, and the decisions that are still keeping marketers awake at night.
