How brand, agency executives see AI being applied to programmatic advertising

Artificial intelligence threatens to reshape many aspects of life advertising. Programmatic advertising seems especially primed for AI’s application. After all, at the most basic level, programmatic advertising is the automation of advertising practices through computers.

“AI and programmatic are bedfellows. I mean, there’s no question about it,” said Andrew Eklund, founder and CEO of Ciceron.
