The Smart Bottle Opportunity:
• More engaged communications with consumers at shelf and beyond triggered by the product itself (restaurants and bars)
How Does It Work?• Sensor tag can detect open and sealed state of bottle• Personalised content is triggered when a smartphone
(geolocation) reads the unique label via Near Field Communication (NFC)
• Allows bottle tracking across the supply chain to the point of consumption to ensure authenticity
Disruptive Qualities:• Can be used for timely marketing messages, promotional offers,
cocktail recipes and exclusive content• Brand relationship extended into where it didn't exist previously

CONSIDERATION: Trust will shift from the validity of the data to the individual
that you choose to listen to.
“Counterfeit Reality” – Gartner’s definition of the digital creation of images, video, documents, or sounds that convince the user that the representations
are real that never occurred or never existed exactly as represented.

Some Challenges Presented with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI will be at the center of our most trusted sources of truth.

Through 2021, AI-driven creation of "Counterfeit Reality," or fake, content will outpace AI's ability to detect it.
Considerations / Implications
More focus to detect what is created
Detection is harder than creation
Social media and tech giants will be key to maintaining integrity
