Almost half of advertisers now “completely” or “mostly” trust AI adtech to make decisions about campaigns without human oversight — up from 25% last year, according to a report from Advertiser Perceptions, a business intelligence provider.
Previously, advertisers “somewhat trusted” these ad technologies to make investment and optimization decisions without human involvement.
Surprisingly, the number of marketers willing to use AI-generated content if brand suitability could be verified dropped from 66% to 50%. This may be because 68% agreed that AI-generated content may pull in content from original publisher sources without proper clearances or permissions.
Also:
- 70% of those using image-based genAI for ad creative are uploading creative made outside their advertising platforms. This is especially common among agencies; marketers are almost evenly split between using in-platform and outside tools.
- Advertisers are most likely to measure the ROI of AI based on lift over a non-AI benchmark, whether in performance, awareness, or engagement.
Here are the latest AI-powered martech news and releases:
