Main Applications Of Artificial Intelligence In Digital Marketing
The use of Artificial Intelligence in marketing is increasingly common, as well as related sciences (deep learning, machine learning, and predictive analysis) and in the future it will be increasingly important to make decisions based on data.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) allows machines to imitate and even improve some “cognitive” functions that humans use to “perceive,” “reason,” “learn,” and “solve problems.”
The very prominent definition of AI was that of John McCarthy , who together with Marvin Minsky, created the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. In 1956 he spoke of the term as: “a world in which machines will be able to solve the types of problems that were reserved for human beings.”
