Pure Signal | Trust and Transparency in AI-Driven Marketing with Ellen Gates

Credera is excited to announce the release of a new Pure Signal episode: "Trust and Transparency in AI-Driven Marketing with Ellen Gates."
On this episode
What and who will ultimately determine the real value and potential risks that follow the rise of AI? In this episode of Pure Signal, the team dives into why trust has emerged as a defining factor in AI adoption and reaction as organizations move from experimentation to scaling their real-world usage.
Joined by special guest and Credera Partner Ellen Gates, hosts Kevin Erickson, Jake Carter, and Ryan Medellin unpack the growing gap between what AI systems actually can do and what most customers believe they can do. Bringing in a wealth of marketing and end user expertise, Ellen speaks to what she’s seen out in the field as it relates to personalization, privacy, and governance. You’ll hear why the team believes misaligned signals, opaque models, and poor results can quickly erode confidence in newly deployed AI systems.
For leaders navigating AI-driven marketing, customer experience, and enterprise transformation, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how transparency, thoughtful design, and human accountability are becoming essential to building durable trust and sustainable AI strategies.
