Should AI Run Your Personal Brand? The Dangers of Automating Authenticity

We trust leaders for their authenticity, so what happens when their words are written by AI?

In this solo episode, host and Content 10x founder Amy Woods reflects on her recent conversation with Ash Jones, founder of Great Influence and Great Leaders, and explores a new twist in the world of personal branding - the rise of AI tools that promise to “do it all” for you.

Shortly after the conversation with Ash, Amy came across a LinkedIn post promoting an AI platform that claims to study a CEO’s tone of voice, create their content, and even comment on posts on their behalf.

It raised an important question if your personal brand isn’t personal anymore… what’s left?

AI can make content faster. But leadership visibility isn’t about speed, it’s about sincerity.

In this episode, Amy shares her thoughts on where AI fits into personal branding, and where it doesn’t, plus how leaders and companies can balance efficiency with authenticity.

Find out:

• Why fully automating your personal brand completely misses the point
• The difference between human-supported and AI-generated leadership content
• The risks of outsourcing your voice completely and how to keep your leadership voice authentic, original, and human
• Where AI can play a useful role in the creative process
