Prof. Aleks Farseev is an entrepreneur, research professor, keynote speaker, and the CEO of SoMin.ai, a long-tail ad optimization platform. Not too long ago, I was asked to present a tool to some of my clients. It was a simple prototype, where a person would type in a few things (i.e., advertising channel, product and occasion), and in turn, the machine would give a number of sample ads. When I clicked the button, in just a few seconds, the machine spat out several ads complete with images and text. The first comment was, "Wow, that was really fast." What would take a person a few hours to do, this machine did in but a fraction.
