LinkedIn is killing your sales bots. 🤖🚫
If you’re a founder using AI "wrappers" to scale your outreach, you aren't just risking a ban. You’re walking into a legal and platform-risk minefield.

How do you survive this? Move from Automation for Execution to Automation for Intelligence.
✅ Use AI to research, synthesise data, and draft context.

I'll be spending most of day 2 of #IoTTechExpoGlobal at the #AI & #BigData theatre hearing from @Jaguar, @KingfisherPlc, @Visa et al about deploying AI. Keen to see how they balance the push for GenAI with the constraints of existing technical debt. #DigitalTransformation
In case you weren't paying attention: This is the story of #AI since @OpenAI unveiled @ChatGPTapp. Now the question is, how should your business implement it?
