AI’s Transformational Impact on Marketing
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a game-changer in marketing, revolutionizing every facet of the discipline. New technologies have radically changed how consumers search for information, evaluate products and services, make purchase decisions, and share their experiences with others. This talk will introduce a novel framework that may help various stakeholders to better understand the impact of current and future AI advancements from a consumer-firm perspective. The discussion will also include several examples of how advances in machine learning allow marketing researchers to investigate how emphasizing nonmaterial and material ESG factors may affect firm value, uncover industry leaders and laggards in racial diversity in advertising, and examine its impact on consumer purchase intentions.
