How AI Is Reshaping the Advertising Industry

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, the biggest day of the year for football… and also for the advertising industry. One of the things that’s different this year is that artificial intelligence has found its way into the process of making an ad in ways both obvious and subtle. And this year’s Super Bowl will feature ads from AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic as competition for name recognition ramps up. Host Alex Ossola speaks with Journal reporters Katie Deighton and Suzanne Vranica about what to expect from the ads at today’s game, and how AI will shape the industry into the future.
