While researching my upcoming book, Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the Organization to Become an AI-Native Enterprise, I tested countless tools. I want to talk about the one nobody is discussing.

The IAB is stepping into the AI accountability conversation with a new framework aimed squarely at one of marketers’ biggest open questions: when, exactly, should AI use be disclosed in advertising? On Thursday, the trade group rolled out its first AI Transparency and Disclosure Framework, positioning it as a practical guide for brands, agencies, publishers

Yep, it’s slop — “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” If you spend any time on LinkedIn, you’ve probably seen it everywhere. And you’ve definitely seen people complaining about it. But AI slop isn’t just a
