Today we’re dropping a surprise podcast that is different than anything we’ve done before and a first of it’s kind! Scot Wingo was invited by Ben Miller, VP of Content and Strategy to participate in the first ever shoptalk debate format talk. The topic - Agentic Commerce Will AI agents transform retail? On the pro agentic side we had Ekta Chopin, CDO at ELF Beauty and myself. If you’re not familiar with Ekta, she’s a thought leading CDO and has a great substack for other CDOs. On the ‘anti agentic side’ we had Sarah Marzano, Principal Analyst, Retail Ecommerce and Retail Media at Emarketer and Andrew Lipsman - independent analyst and consultant for media, ads and commerce. Before the show, Scot asked and received permission from Shoptalk and all the participants to turn the raw audio into a podcast. In the AI era, speed matters so we are getting this in your hands only 2 days after it happened. This debate took place at 12pm PDT on Tuesday March 24th at Shoptalk’s AI Stage. Timestamps 00:01 - Why this episode is different from anything Retailgentic has done before 01:28 - The Shoptalk debate topic: Will AI Agents Transform Retail?
