Meta's AI Takes Control of Ad Accounts
Publisher: Search Engine Land (22/10/2024)
Overview: Meta is implementing AI-driven automatic adjustments to advertisers' accounts, raising concerns about control and transparency.
Key Points:
- The new feature aims to optimize ad performance without manual intervention.
- Advertisers can opt out, but the feature is enabled by default.
- Concerns arise over potential budget increases and loss of strategic control.
Marketer's POV: Meta’s consistent AI project failures are well-documented, so letting them loose on your ads without close monitoring would seem to be a hostage to fortune. Fortunately, for now at least, you can turn them off, but its critical to pay even closer attention to your ads.
