Will AI mean better adverts or 'creepy slop'?

BBC News

Will AI mean better adverts or'creepy slop'? Imagine one night, you're scrolling through social media on your phone, and the ads start to look remarkably familiar. They're decked out in your favourite colours, are featuring your favourite music and the wording sounds like phrases you regularly use. Welcome to the future of advertising, which is already here thanks to AI. Advertising company Cheil UK, for example, has been working with startup Spotlight on using large language AI models to understand people's online activity, and adapt that content based on what the AI interprets an individual's personality to be. The technology can then mirror how someone talks in terms of tone, phrase and pace to change the text of an ad accordingly, and insert music and colours to match, say, whether the AI deems someone to be introverted or extroverted, or have specific preferences for loud or calm music, or light or dark colours.

Chi Onwurah, the committee chair, has said she was disappointed in the government's response on AI and digital advertising in particular. Failures to properly tackle online misinformation mean it is "only a matter of time" before viral content triggers a repeat of the 2024 summer riots, MPs have warned. Chi Onwurah, the chair of the Commons science and technology select committee, said ministers seemed complacent about the threat and this was putting the public at risk. The committee said it was disappointed in the government's response to its recent report warning social media companies' business models contributed to disturbances after the Southport murders .

Forecasting click volume is a key task in digital advertising, influencing both revenue and campaign strategy. Traditional time series models rely solely on numerical data, often overlooking rich contextual information embedded in textual elements, such as keyword updates. We present a multimodal forecasting framework that combines click data with textual logs from real-world ad campaigns and generates human-interpretable explanations alongside numeric predictions. Reinforcement learning is used to improve comprehension of textual information and enhance fusion of modalities. Experiments on a large-scale industry dataset show that our method outperforms baselines in both accuracy and reasoning quality.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many industries, and digital advertising is no exception. AI technology has made it possible to automate many of the manual tasks that are involved in digital advertising, saving time, increasing efficiency, and delivering better results. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of AI in digital advertising and how it is transforming the industry. One of the most significant benefits of AI in digital advertising is the ability to target and personalize ads more effectively. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data about consumer behavior, preferences, and demographics, enabling advertisers to deliver highly targeted and personalized ads.


Meta Begins Rolling Out Machine Learning-Powered System to Ensure Fair Distribution of Ads

#artificialintelligence

Meta said Monday that the Variance Reduction System, the machine learning-powered technology it initially discussed last June to ensure the equitable distribution of ads on its platforms, is now live for housing ads in the U.S. Vice president of civil rights and deputy general counsel Roy L. Austin Jr. said in a Newsroom post Monday that the plan is to extend VRS to credit and employment ads in the U.S. at some point in 2023. The Department of Justice reached a settlement with Meta last June regarding a complaint filed in August 2018 with the Department of Housing and Urban Development over discriminatory uses of ad targeting options from then-Facebook. The HUD complaint was related to housing ads, but the same issues were raised regarding credit and employment ads, and Meta said at the time that it would apply plans it shared in the settlement to all three categories. DOJ civil rights division assistant attorney general Kristen Clarke said in a statement, "This development marks a pivotal step in the Justice Department's efforts to hold Meta accountable for unlawful algorithmic bias and discriminatory ad delivery on its platforms. The Justice Department will continue to hold Meta accountable by ensuring that the Variance Reduction System addresses and eliminates discriminatory delivery of advertisements on its platforms. Federal monitoring of Meta should send a strong signal to other tech companies that they, too, will be held accountable for failing to address algorithmic discrimination that runs afoul of our civil rights laws."

In today's world, the presence of online disinformation and propaganda is more widespread than ever. Independent publishers are funded mostly via digital advertising, which is unfortunately also the case for those publishing disinformation content. The question of how to remove such publishers from advertising inventory has long been ignored, despite the negative impact on the open internet. In this work, we make the first step towards quickly detecting and red-flagging websites that potentially manipulate the public with disinformation. We build a machine learning model based on multilingual text embeddings that first determines whether the page mentions a topic of interest, then estimates the likelihood of the content being malicious, creating a shortlist of publishers that will be reviewed by human experts. Our system empowers internal teams to proactively, rather than defensively, blacklist unsafe content, thus protecting the reputation of the advertisement provider.
