Artificial Intelligence Makes Marketing More Precise
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often portrayed as a futuristic and almost magical technology, capable of performing tasks that once required human intelligence, such as making decisions, learning from experience, and performing complex problem-solving. In recent years, AI has gained tremendous attention across many sectors, including marketing. Its potential to revolutionize industries, from autonomous vehicles to content generation, has made it a buzzword that seems to hold the key to endless possibilities. However, the reality of AI’s capabilities and applications is more nuanced than the dramatized portrayals seen in science fiction or popular media.
At its core, AI is about creating machines or systems that can process large amounts of data, learn from patterns and experiences, and make predictions or decisions based on that information. Machine learning, a subset of AI, allows systems to learn autonomously over time, improving their accuracy and efficiency as they handle more data. However, AI is not a monolithic technology. It includes a wide array of techniques, such as natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics, that can be applied in different ways across industries.
In marketing, AI has already proven to be a game-changer. For instance, AI-powered tools are being used to optimize advertising strategies, predict customer behavior, personalize content, and even automate customer service functions. The ability of AI to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time allows companies to identify trends, measure customer sentiment, and deliver tailored experiences at an unprecedented scale. From chatbots that simulate human conversation to advanced algorithms that help marketers craft more effective campaigns, AI is helping businesses connect with customers in new and more efficient ways.
Organized But Not Intelligent
The traditional definition of artificial intelligence (AI) has long been centered around the concept of creating machines that possess human-like self-awareness, reasoning, and decision-making abilities. In this classical view, AI was imagined as being capable of understanding itself, developing thoughts and emotions, and interacting with the world in a way comparable to human consciousness. These early definitions suggested that AI could one day replicate or even surpass human intelligence.
However, the reality of modern-day artificial intelligence is quite different from these early, more grandiose ideas. Despite the term “artificial intelligence,” today’s AI does not possess self-awareness, emotion, or a conscious understanding of the world. It does not “think” in the same way humans do, nor does it have an inherent sense of self or a desire to learn about itself. In fact, AI is not “intelligent” in the traditional sense at all—it’s a set of complex algorithms designed to analyze large sets of data, identify patterns, and make decisions based on pre-programmed instructions.
AI today operates by processing information according to specific rules and logic. Take the example of a dryer equipped with a moisture sensor: the machine uses an algorithm to monitor moisture levels in clothing. When the moisture level falls below a certain threshold, the dryer stops. While this may seem like intelligent behavior, it’s actually a set of programmed instructions that execute a specific function based on input data. The dryer does not “understand” that the clothes are dry—it merely follows a series of predetermined steps.
In the same way, many of the AI systems that interact with people, such as chatbots used in customer service, are not capable of understanding the actual meaning of the conversations they are having. These systems are designed to analyze keywords or phrases, select appropriate responses from a predefined list, and present them to the user. While they may appear to be having a conversation or providing assistance, they do not comprehend the context or emotional nuances behind the words. They simply follow the logic embedded in their programming.
Despite this, AI has tremendous potential and is already making a significant impact across industries. The key to AI’s power lies in its ability to process vast amounts of data and arrive at decisions at speeds that far surpass human capabilities. AI is especially useful in areas where large-scale data analysis, pattern recognition, and automated decision-making can be applied. This includes applications in healthcare, finance, marketing, logistics, and more.
What Can AI Really Do?
One of the most impactful applications of artificial intelligence (AI) today is in the field of “big data.” Big data refers to extremely large datasets that are too complex or vast to be processed and analyzed using traditional data processing methods. The sheer volume, velocity, and variety of big data pose significant challenges to human analysts, but AI excels in managing, processing, and extracting valuable insights from these enormous datasets.
To illustrate the power of AI in big data, consider the example of human DNA. The human genome consists of around 3 billion DNA base pairs, and the number of possible genetic permutations is staggeringly large. Finding a specific genetic combination that could lead to the development of a new medication to treat a particular disease would be a monumental task. If this process were left to human researchers manually analyzing DNA sequences, it could take centuries or even millennia to identify the useful combination. This is where AI comes in.
AI is capable of processing vast amounts of data at speeds that humans simply cannot match. Computers can analyze and cross-reference genetic data in a fraction of the time it would take a team of scientists working manually. With the power of machine learning algorithms, AI can sift through massive DNA datasets, identify patterns, and pinpoint specific genetic markers associated with diseases or conditions, allowing researchers to focus on the most promising avenues for treatment. What would have taken thousands of years with traditional methods could be accomplished by AI in just a few weeks, days, or even hours, depending on the scale of the data and the sophistication of the algorithms used.
The ability to process and analyze big data is invaluable in fields beyond genomics. In healthcare, for example, AI can help process patient data to detect early signs of diseases, personalize treatment plans, and optimize medical research. In finance, AI-powered algorithms can analyze market trends, customer behaviors, and economic indicators in real-time to make predictions and identify opportunities for investment. In marketing, big data and AI can work together to segment customers, personalize advertising, and improve customer engagement, all while processing vast amounts of transactional, social, and demographic data.
One of the defining features of big data is that it is often unstructured, meaning it doesn’t follow a predefined model or format. This makes it difficult for traditional data processing methods, which rely on structured data, to derive meaningful insights. AI, however, is uniquely equipped to handle unstructured data, including text, images, video, and even sensory data from IoT devices. Through techniques like natural language processing (NLP) and image recognition, AI can extract valuable information from data that might otherwise be considered too messy or unorganized to be useful.
How Marketing Benefits
When applied to the task of big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a game-changer for market research. The days of speculating about consumer preferences and relying on personal biases are long behind us. Market research has evolved into a highly data-driven field, where surveys, questionnaires, and other forms of data gathering provide valuable insights into customer behavior. Traditional methods of market research, such as manual analysis by human teams, could only process a limited amount of data in a reasonable timeframe, often leading to missed opportunities or biased conclusions.
Enter AI, which brings unprecedented power to the field of market research. AI’s ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time is a natural fit for market research, allowing businesses to quickly understand consumer preferences, market trends, and emerging demands. Unlike human analysts, AI can analyze large datasets far faster and more accurately, enabling companies to gain actionable insights much more efficiently. Whether it’s analyzing customer feedback, sales data, or social media sentiment, AI can handle large-scale datasets with ease, uncovering hidden patterns and relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The use of AI in market research also eliminates many of the limitations inherent in traditional data analysis. For instance, AI algorithms can automatically segment data according to various parameters, such as age, location, purchasing behavior, and even psychographics like consumer attitudes and motivations. This level of segmentation enables businesses to gain a far more granular understanding of their target audience, allowing for more precise marketing strategies and tailored product offerings. For example, an AI-powered market research tool can instantly analyze customer reviews, categorize them by sentiment, and provide businesses with actionable insights about what customers are saying about their products or services. This kind of analysis would be time-consuming and error-prone for human researchers but is accomplished by AI with remarkable speed and accuracy.
Furthermore, AI’s ability to process unstructured data such as text, images, or even video has opened up new avenues for market research. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, for example, can analyze large volumes of written content from customer reviews, social media posts, and other sources, extracting meaningful insights about consumer preferences, concerns, and emotional responses. This provides businesses with a far richer understanding of their customers compared to structured data alone. The ability to interpret unstructured data helps businesses stay ahead of the curve in identifying market trends, consumer needs, and potential pain points that may not have been obvious from traditional data sources.
AI also significantly improves the accuracy of market research by minimizing human error. In traditional research, data entry and categorization tasks often involve human judgment, which can lead to mistakes or inconsistencies. For example, when categorizing survey responses or analyzing data entries, human analysts might overlook subtle details or make errors due to fatigue or distractions. With AI, these tasks are automated, and the precision of the analysis is significantly higher, leading to more reliable results. AI’s ability to process data without the risk of human error ensures that the insights drawn from market research are as accurate as possible, enabling businesses to make well-informed decisions with confidence.
More Data From Online
In addition to the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics, one of the most significant advancements is the sheer volume of data that can now be collected from online sources. In the past, market research was often confined to surveys, questionnaires, and other forms of limited information gathering, which were conducted during specific research periods. This approach often created gaps in data or left out valuable insights that could only have been gathered over time or on a larger scale.
The Internet, however, has completely reshaped this process. The digital nature of the Internet means that nearly every action taken online is tracked, providing an unprecedented level of insight into consumer behavior. From browsing activity to social media engagement, every click, search, and interaction can be recorded and analyzed. Unlike traditional market research, which could only capture data during a defined research window, online data collection is continuous. This ongoing stream of data allows businesses to track not just the actions of consumers during a brief research period, but also their long-term behaviors, preferences, and shifts in interests.
This opens up vast opportunities for market research. For instance, where traditional methods could only survey a small portion of the population, the digital nature of online activity enables businesses to gather data from millions of people in real-time. Whether it’s the popularity of a particular website, the volume of searches for a product, or the level of engagement with specific online content, businesses can now gather a wealth of information that would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago.
What makes this data even more valuable is its continuous nature. The Internet doesn’t have a set “research period.” Companies can track consumer behavior over long periods, understanding how interests evolve, what products are gaining traction, and how various market dynamics shift. This ability to track consumer activities over time and across multiple platforms—websites, social media, mobile apps, and more—gives businesses a fuller picture of their target audiences, even when individuals don’t explicitly opt in or participate in surveys.
Additionally, the behavior data that businesses can now access isn’t reliant on consumers filling out forms or answering questions. Instead, it’s gathered from the way consumers naturally engage with online content. For example, a person may not have explicitly indicated an interest in health-related products or services in a traditional survey, but by tracking their online behavior, businesses can see patterns that show otherwise. If someone frequently visits websites related to arthritis pain management, searches for tips on managing joint pain, or follows social media pages focused on health and wellness, this data points to a strong interest in products or services that could address those needs. In this way, businesses can proactively identify potential customers before they even explicitly express interest in a product, giving them a competitive edge in reaching the right audience at the right time.
