An Ad Tech Firm Is on the Hunt for Smart AI Bets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While OpenAI and Anthropic look to rein in the power of artificial intelligence before it destroys the world, AI agents are already busy taking over daily tasks in the ad business like building media plans, analyzing marketing data and creating commercials.
