Advertisements meet Artificial Intellingence
Artificial Intelligence has successfully been able to reach out to all sectors and marketing is no exception here.
Exploring the lanes of what exactly is AI we will try to look into what it has achieved in the field of marketing and whether the relationship between the two have the same kind of scepticism that presence of Ai has generated over the numerous other fields.
Artificial Intelligence is the new Buzzword
A prominent way to distinguish machines from humans has been to establish how machines
can’t really think as spontaneously and dynamically as a human brain can, given that machines don’t not exhibit human-like behaviours.
This however, has changed with the advent of AI, the most common example of this could be taken to be computers because they are programmed to function in a way that’s more efficient than the previous age machines wherein the functioning was rather rigid.
The thing about AI is, and the reason for both its popularity and criticism is that it reduces the scope of committing a mistake, something which can’t be mathematically promised by human, because for humans mistakes open up portal for new inventions or discoveries to rectify the problem, if and when its universal and persistent.
Not only this, AI is better off at streamlining information that is excruciated out off huge databases in a manner that is time efficient. All these reasons make AI a desirable necessity for the business- both small and big.
Advertising and AI
We are not oblivious to the fact that Advertising agencies these days make the best of their strategies to attract an audience and promote a particular product through the massive
platform that the internet has provided us.
This however, also entails quite a few complications as well, given that the Internet is not a restricted resource and a lot of traction and people join in on the already crowded space on an everyday basis because the internet has no maximum capacity.
The direct implication of this for advertisement agencies is the need for a tool that helps them to streamline data that has to be collected for better reach and impactful advertisement to target audience.
Given the numbers, AI proves to be of great help here, because it not only ensures streamlining but it also keeps updating itself to avoid making the previously committed mistakes because AI is all about making machines learn from the external immediate surroundings.
The more prominent ways in which AI acts as a marketing tool is also through its ability to feed on data and hint at predictions in terms of what strategy is/would be impactful enough and those that just won’t pan out the way one would want them to. It also ensures a better tailored experience for the customers which in turn ensures a more customer oriented approach.
Sceptics
Even though things have not reached an extreme end for AI in marketing, it still has a downside to it, and one should be aware of that. Many companies have the BOT system which isn’t as dynamic as AI claims to be and often fails to rectify a plethora of issues.
This invigorates the promise of quick response and prompt presence to solve the issues of the customers. Alongside AI talks about providing predictions and patterns, what isn’t advertised is that they can often be wrong and one should not buy into the idea of them being absolute and definite because it’s all based on algorithms, because well, algorithms can also turn out of no help for consumers and customers.
However, the advent of AI for the purpose of advertising is still a topic to be deliberated upon. It can be utilised by companies to acquire an attractive customer base. On the other hand, it can also keep a product or a service under or over advertised.
Therefore, a regulated approach to using AI mechanisms in order to work their marketing strategies out is a dire need for the companies.
