Abstract

Since ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, followed by Microsoft’s announcement of its artificial intelligence (AI)–powered new Bing search engine on February 7, 2023, and Google’s Bard release on March 21, 2023, it seems AI generally has taken over conversations across all sectors of society. In a very short time span, consumers and a wide range of organizations have adopted generative AI technologies with astonishing capabilities (Bove 2023). These new technological developments have accelerated the integration of AI into many tools, apps, and areas of our daily life, but the transformative AI technology is perhaps most deeply impacting the world of advertising. AI-enabled advertising spending worldwide in 2022 was estimated to be $370 billion, with predictions of $1.3 trillion in the next ten years (Statista 2023). While the viral sensation and enormous popularity of ChatGPT are generating unprecedented attention and interest in AI right now, AI, as both a theoretical concept and version of its technological implementations and applications, has a long history with its origin going back to the 1950s. In the advertising field, the first research article on the topic of AI in connection to advertising was published in 1988 (Cook and Schleede 1988). The authors described “decision support systems” (i.e., expert systems) as probably the “most widely implemented and well-known applications of AI” (48). As described, these systems used databases and models to solve problems, such as help with direct-mail systems and newspaper advertising placement. Since then, AI has changed the business of media and advertising and attracted attention from both advertising practitioners and scholars. Although there is no standard definition, Rodgers (2021) defined AI advertising as “brand communication that uses a range of machine functions that learn to carry out tasks with intent to persuade with input by humans, machines, or both” (2) and positioned AI advertising as a subdiscipline of advertising “situated at the intersection of cognitive science, computer science, and advertising” (2). Advertisers are using AI technologies in automated market segmentation and targeting, ad creative development and personalization, improving ad buying and placement, and optimizing advertising investment (Kietzmann, Paschen, and Treen 2018). Following the trend of increasing AI adoption in advertising, advertising scholars have organized sessions at the American Academy of Advertising (AAA) conference, such as the 2014 preconference, “Big Data for Advertising Research and Education,” and the joint AAA-ANA Educational Foundation luncheon panel with the provocative title, “The Future of Advertising—Will We Be Replaced by Robots?” in 2018. The Journal of Advertising (JA) has published multiple themed collections on AI-related topics, starting with a Special Section on Artificial Intelligence and Advertising, guest-edited by Hairong Li (2019). This collection of articles explored the potential and actual application of AI technologies to enhance advertising efficiency, effects, and effectiveness across the entire spectrum of the advertising campaign process, from situation analysis and consumer insight generation to advertising message creation, to media planning and buying, and to advertising effect assessment (see the Journal of Advertising, vol. 48, no. 4).

ChatGPT,人工智能广告,广告研究和教育
自2022年11月30日发布ChatGPT,随后微软于2023年2月7日宣布其人工智能(AI)驱动的新Bing搜索引擎,谷歌于2023月21日发布Bard以来,人工智能似乎已经接管了社会各界的对话。在很短的时间内,消费者和各种组织都采用了具有惊人能力的生成人工智能技术(Bove 2023)。这些新的技术发展加速了人工智能融入我们日常生活的许多工具、应用程序和领域,但变革性的人工智能技术可能对广告世界的影响最为深远。2022年,全球人工智能广告支出估计为3700亿美元,预计未来十年将达到1.3万亿美元(Statista 2023)。尽管ChatGPT的病毒式轰动和巨大流行目前正在引起人们对人工智能前所未有的关注和兴趣,但人工智能作为一个理论概念及其技术实现和应用的版本,有着悠久的历史,其起源可以追溯到20世纪50年代。在广告领域,1988年发表了第一篇关于人工智能与广告相关主题的研究文章(Cook和Schleede,1988年)。作者将“决策支持系统”(即专家系统)描述为可能是“人工智能最广泛实现和最知名的应用”(48)。如前所述,这些系统使用数据库和模型来解决问题,例如帮助直邮系统和报纸广告投放。从那时起,人工智能改变了媒体和广告的业务,引起了广告从业者和学者的关注。尽管没有标准定义,Rodgers(2021)将人工智能广告定义为“使用一系列机器功能的品牌传播,这些功能学习执行任务,意图通过人类、机器或两者的输入进行说服”(2),并将人工智能宣传定位为“位于认知科学、计算机科学和广告学交叉点”的广告子学科(2)。广告商正在将人工智能技术用于自动化市场细分和定位、广告创意开发和个性化、改进广告购买和投放以及优化广告投资(Kietzmann、Paschen和Treen,2018)。随着人工智能在广告中的应用不断增加,广告学者们在美国广告学会(AAA)会议上组织了一些会议,如2014年的会前会议“广告研究和教育的大数据”,以及AAA-ANA教育基金会联合午餐会,其标题颇具煽动性,《广告的未来——我们会被机器人取代吗?》,2018年。《广告杂志》(JA)出版了多个与人工智能相关的主题集,首先是李海荣(2019)客座编辑的《人工智能与广告专刊》。这组文章探讨了人工智能技术的潜力和实际应用,以提高广告活动过程的整个范围内的广告效率、效果和有效性,从情况分析和消费者洞察生成到广告信息创建,再到媒体规划和购买,以及广告效果评估(见《广告杂志》,第48卷,第4期)。Jisu Huh和Ed Malthouse(2020)客座编辑的另一个关于2020年计算广告进展的特别章节,阐述了不断发展的计算机科学技术对数据驱动、人工智能驱动的计算广告的广泛影响,并提出了宏观和外生因素、消费者在计算广告中的作用、,人工智能驱动的广告内容生成、计算广告媒体规划策略从购买曝光转向关注有意义的消费者参与,以及计算广告测量系统(见《广告杂志》,第49卷,第4期)。一年后,JA出版了一本最新的综合性主题期刊《人工智能和广告的前景和危险》(2021,第50卷,第1期)。在她的社论中,前任编辑Shelly Rodgers(2021)提出了一种人工智能分类模式,以系统地理解和开发子域
