Read previewArtificial intelligence is expected to be the topic du jour at Cannes Lions this week, when the ad industry descends on the French Riviera for its annual shindig in the sun. Businesses are exploring how they can use AI to perform tasks like copywriting, research, and automating their ad campaigns. A Cannes Lions spokesperson said the festival is expecting 12,000 delegates, though many more ad execs and vendors forgo the official festivities to hobnob at the fringe events. Cannes Lions has set its own rules around AI. "Those who will win will figure out the right mix of AI plus the right influencers plus the right concepts," MediaLink's Wagman said.

This disastrous mindset has hollowed out Silicon Valley's ability to innovate and caused regular people to grow increasingly frustrated with everyday tech. The large platforms have generally ignored this feedback for one big reason: The tech industry has been taken over by career managers. Now Google Search is more profitable and worse, elevating spammy content and outright scams, a problem exacerbated by artificial intelligence. AdvertisementBut today's tech products feel built to sell a dream of the future rather than solve a customer's existing pains. As long as the tech industry is controlled by people who don't build things, it will continue to build products that help raise growth metrics rather than help consumers with tangible problems.

But Salesforce is the most glaring of the enterprise software behemoths, which include ServiceNow , Adobe , Workday , SAP , Intuit , and fallen star MongoDB . Or to put it another way, Salesforce needs its clients to hire more people to increase sales growth.
