# Insights as a Competitive Advantage in a World of GenAI
When everyone has access to the same AI tools, what sets you apart from the competition? AI-driven competitive advantage comes down to asking the right questions, not just automating tasks.
[John Mitchell](https://ams-insights.com/our-consultants/john-mitchell/), President and Managing Principal at Applied Marketing Science (AMS), recently presented at the Manufacturers Alliance Marketing Council Spring Meeting, shedding light on the evolving role of AI within market research and customer insights.
