Growth hacking strategies aim to acquire users cost-effectively by employing a team composed of marketers, developers, engineers, and product managers, who prioritize innovative, low-cost marketing approaches over traditional methods. Growth hackers have traditionally focused on exploiting data to improve user acquisition and engagement, but the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into these processes presents new challenges. A significant issue is the organizational silos in which data scientists operate, coupled with a scarcity of AI talent, projected to result in a 2.5 million data scientist shortage by 2025. This situation demands a strategic evolution where growth hacking teams must gain proficiency in AI and machine learning, akin to how airline pilots were trained in avionics to fly without a flight engineer. The call is for more accessible AI tools and training for non-technical professionals, allowing growth hacking teams to transform into growth science teams, combining marketing acumen with data analytics to leverage AI for business solutions. This shift requires professionals to elevate their skills, emphasizing the need for a broader conversation about this transformation in the industry.
