Media and advertising companies are focusing on optimization of email and website communications by continuous learning from user behaviour and actions. In addition, programmatic advertising is also fueling the growth of the global artificial intelligence market in this industry. Automated process of buying and selling advertisement inventory through artificial intelligence is effectively connecting advertisers to publishers.
The trend toward effective voice based search technologies has also added value to the market growth. Businesses are trying to bring next generation input method in their product and services through artificial intelligence. The widespread adoption of smartphones has let media companies to include artificial intelligence technologies as a crucial part of their product development lifecycle. Artificial intelligence provides a new competitive edge to the media companies through contextual relevancy for connecting right people to the right content at the right time and in the right way. Therefore, the global artificial intelligence market in media and advertising has a huge scope for rapid growth.
