Why Ask AI?Building thought leadership is about associating your professional life with people, experiences, and initiatives that add meaning and value for the audience you're trying to reach. Ask AI has been showcasing some of the most insightful and creative minds in artificial intelligence since 2017, and we're known for asking the right questions. It's in our name, after all. Collaborating with an independent nonprofit like Ask AI adds a level of authenticity to your content that's difficult to match. Let's work together to help people in your industry or profession navigate the opportunities and disruptions associated with the increased adoption of AI technology.
-
Why short video?Podcasting has become saturated. Social media has narrowed attention spans. Generative AI is eroding contrent authenticity. Short videos offer a compelling format that delivers quick hits of information while building trust in the presenter. We request that members of the Expert Group refrain from using deep fake tech other than to provide an example to reinforce an editorial point.
-
Can existing content be repurposed?Yes, existing content can provide excellent source material for short videos. This includes LinkedIn posts, training slides, articles, and blog posts.
-
Will my logo and links be included?Yes, we include your logo, bio, and backlinks in the video itself and in the postings to our blog, newsletter, and social media.
-
Does Ask AI help with the recordings?Yes, we can organize the recording of your insight on request and approach it like a mini interview. Contributors are also welcome to submit their raw videos for us to edit.
-
Can contributors re-publish the content?Yes! We encourage contributors to share and repost videos on social media and embed them (using Youtube embed link) in their website, blog, and newsletter.
-
Can I mention my company or project?Yes, it's important to introduce yourself at the start of each short video to add context to your insight. But the objective of the Expert Group videos is to inform, not to sell. Remember that our team will add your logo, bio, and backlinks to the video, blog post, and social posts associated with the distribution of your videos. If promotion is more aligned with your goals, please check out our "Team Check-In" program which is purpose-built to showcase AI products, capabilities, and use cases.
-
Are the recordings talking head only?Not at all. In fact we encourage presenters to include visual aids such as diagrams, websites, photos, and slides. If adding images and other assets is not practical during recording, Ask AI can add them during editing.
-
Can I use avatars or deep fake technology?Somewhat ironically, no. The Expert Group program intended to help contributors build their reputation as trusted leader in AI. Demonstrating examples is fine, but using a digital twin for the primary content is not conducive to achieving that outcome.
-
Can I start and stop while recording?Yes, we will remove the unwanted takes in editing. But be clear what you want deleted during recording.
-
Are microphones important?Yes! Whether recording from your phone or laptop it is essential to use a good microphone. We often say the secret to great video is excellent audio. If recording outdoors or at an event, use a lavalier mic which can be purchased for <$20.
-
Can I record using my phone?Absolutely. Phones are perfect for recording insights from events, labs, and other remote locations. But please be sure to hold your phone in the landscape position (important for posting to LinkedIn) and use a lavalier mic.
