Description: Galloway argues that AI has experienced the second-greatest brand destruction in 18 months, after the United States. He notes that perception of AI is directly correlated to wealth, with only those making over $200,000 viewing it positively, while middle-class people see rising electricity bills without access to invest in these companies.

Scott Galloway: AI Wasn’t Built For You. The Rich Don’t Need You Anymore!

"There have been few brands that have fallen further faster in the last 18 months than two brands. The United States brand abroad. We used to be the enforcer, the operating system to keep rogue nations in check. The US is now that rogue nation. So the US brand abroad, for the first time in history, more people feel that China is a force of good in the world than the US. That's never happened before. So the brand US has fallen furthest, fastest. The second greatest fall is AI."
