Benefits And Risks: What To Look For In Using AI With Legal And Ethical Issues. With 9P’s Of Marketing

To begin it's important when using AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology it must be accomplished by the application of actual intelligence.

I have developed a useful list of issues of opportunity, limitations, confidentiality, accuracies, risks and benefits:

  • Look at the needs of AI
  • Verification of claims, facts, reasoning and outputs
  • Be sure to trust and verify. Documentation of records. 
  • What independent human verification is required. With follow up.
  • Develop and review clear policies on the use of AI
  • Develop and review clear policies on the use of AI policies in law schools
  • Ethical and legal issues
  • Look at billing model changes with the use of AI, especially eliminating new. law school employees 
  • Completeness of the output
  • Accuracy of the outputs
  • AI hallucinations
  • Finding non sensical information
  • Finding unsubstantiated information
  • Look at vendors, media buyers, advertising agencies and suppliers
  • Keeping client's property safe and separate, may include electronic data
  • The use of AI powered Marketing claims
  • Is it a business/enterprise or a public tool? Different rules apply. 
  • Look at reasonable fees and communicate issues with clients. Review overhead and administration billings/costs. 
  • Complexity of the issues and changes in the future years. 
  • Vendor reliance
  • Ownership of IP
  • Ownership of outputs and inputs in AI
  • Protections
  • Confidentiality
  • Outputs and Inputs may be discoverable
  • Protecting client information 
  • How you communicate with clients and employees
  • Confirm and double check information 
  • Judges are using AI tools
Be sure to apply your training, knowledge, judgement and experience. Ask for help.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. I have been a Marketing and Advertising Expert in court for 24 years. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 

    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. 
    • From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
    • In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
    • There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 
  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

How Much Is Google Worth? With Nine P's Of Marketing


Google.com, 
one of the most valuable domains on the web, was sold for $12 on September 29, 2015, and Google bought it back for $12K or about two times $6006.13.

Google offered to pay Sanmay Ved, a former Googler, $6,006.13, who had purchased the domain for $12 with his Discover card. Google ended up paying twice that amount to a special charity Sanmay picked. 

The beneficiary “Art of Living India Foundation” is a group that runs free schools in parts of India. If you are thinking why $6006.13; it is the numerical version of the word “Google.”

An Example Of Branding: Medical Branding. "Tommy John Surgery." With 9P’s Of Marketing

A surgery named after you. 

Performed by the doctor. 

I am saddened to report Tommy John has died. 

The surgery techniques will live on. 

According to the NYT, approximately one in three professional baseball pitchers or 35% have had Tommy John elbow surgery.

That’s more than 1,000 professional and Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers have undergone “Tommy John” surgery since it was first performed in ‘74.

The surgery is ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction at some point in their professional careers

In ‘74, while pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers, John suffered an injury to his left pitching arm.

The famous Dr. Jobe of Kerlan-Jobe was the Dodgers team physician at the time and he performed the four-hour ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery.

Tommy missed an entire season but then came back.  Jobe’s surgery entailed replacing the UCL with a tendon from elsewhere in the body or John's right wrist.

He pitched for 14 more seasons, winning 164 more games, with the Dodgers, Yankees, California Angels (1982-85) and Oakland Athletics.

What is a brand? It's the unique identity, reputation, and emotional gut feeling that people associate with a company, product, or person. It goes far beyond a simple logo or name, representing the total sum of how an audience perceives a business (surgery technique) through its actions, messaging, and experiences. It can be a visual and/or verbal markers like names, logos, colors, and slogans that make a business recognizable.

Targeting This Demo And "People:" Under 25 Years Of Age And Taking Trips. With 9P’s Of Marketing

How are they or "people," also consumers under my 9P's, affording trips? 

Young adults are choosing to live with their parents and are not renting or owning a home. Actually, another example of making fewer life decisions.  

One of the questions I like asking undergrad classes and law school students, how many countries have you been to?  They can’t count a country if they just fly in and fly out of an airport. Doesn’t count.

Students have traveled sometimes, actually many times to more countries than their parents. Grandparents, for sure Spring break. Winter break. They go far.

From census data and realtor.com data, more than 25,000,000 adults under age 35 lived with their parents in 2025. Why, they can take trips and save money.

August Update: Who Will Be Advertising In The Super Bowl LXI Which Costs More Than $10 Million For A 30-Second TV Spot On ABC/ESPN, And Is Only In Only 15 US Cities? With 9P's Of Marketing

Waymo. 

Owned by Alphabet (Google's parent company), Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a fully driverless ride-hailing service. 
If you are near Playa Vista California and Google's Spruce Goose facility you can see several Waymo's an hour.

Many Super Bowl fans will be attending the Super Bowl, next February 14th and Super Bowl parties using Waymo to SoFi and home Super Bowl parties. 

Originating in 2009 as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, Waymo operates commercial robotaxi fleets allowing users (People, under my 9P's of Marketing) to hail a driverless, all-electric vehicle via a smartphone app.

The $10 Million tv spot cost doesn't include creative, production or celebrities. 

As a cornerstone to an aggressive marketing push, Waymo is hiring WPP as its new agency partner and conducting a creative review for their first Super Bowl spot

I found promotion including “Waymo is already providing hundreds of thousands of fully autonomous trips across more than 10 cities and expanding globally, and while that’s a daily reality for some riders, it’s still a sci-fi concept to plenty of others... “this partnership is really about building the global awareness and understanding to close that gap and deliver on Waymo’s mission to be the world’s most trusted driver.”

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 

    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. 
    • From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
    • In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
    • There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 
  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said “ To put your ideas into action is the most difficult thing in the world." But Nike says "Just do it."
