AI Can Save Time, But It’s Not Saving Advertising
By James Avery Advertising growth swells year by year, with or without artificial intelligence (AI). At face value, AI is a statistical model that predicts what will come next and like other tech innovations, it can certainly help optimize processes faster; but it won't necessarily revolutionize the advertising industry.

In the latter half of the 20th century, a theory emerged—and is still promoted today—that the cultural orientations of Hispanic and Asian immigrants and their descendants would diminish as they “became more acculturated.” A new study by the Hispanic Marketing Council (HMC) shows the opposite is true: non-Hispanic white (NHW) 13-to-49-year-olds have been more influenced by Hispanic, Black and Asian cultures. With the multicultural majority already a reality for Americans under 25 & estimated for all people under 35 by the end of this year, it is safe to say that the construct of a white American “general market” is dead, upending long-held marketing paradigms centered around an increasingly non-existent NHW majority.
