By 2030, insight and data will be abundant, automated, and accessible to all. What will differentiate organisations – and insights professionals — is not access to intelligence, but how it is used with judgement. As AI increasingly mediates decisions and demand fragments across platforms, channels, geographies and ideologies, organisations and insights professionals must fundamentally rethink how they create and deliver value: from explaining what happened, to actively shaping what happens next.

Learn how to choose between synthetic populations and real-world data for marketing use case. Synthetic data are opening new options for marketers. Used well, they can pre-test a message, size an audience too thin to plan against or model what happens if conditions change. Used as a stand-in for ground truth, they can mislead. Synthetic records model what could be true about artificial people, not what is true about real ones. They can also inherit bias and look more authoritative than they are.

AI is changing market research faster than governance is catching up, and that gap is creating real legal and reputational exposure for firms that don't see it coming.
