Summary
Will AI replace ad sales reps? The answer increasingly seems to point to yes. In this episode, the head of IAB's Tech Lab, Anthony Katsur, warns that AI is becoming capable of handling media planning, budget allocation, and campaign analysis, potentially allowing publishers and agencies to do more with fewer salespeople. How soon might that happen? Corey & Gordon unveil new research indicating AI adoption of advertising tasks are progressing more slowly among local advertisers than most think.
