Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming advertising theory and practice. However, while applications of AI abound, it appears that not enough questions are being asked about the ontological, technical, and ethical consequences of artificially intelligent advertising ecosystems. Given the pace and unpredictability of technological change, this article adopts a question-driven approach, emphasizing the importance of adopting a maieutic attitude for academics, practitioners, and other advertising stakeholders, including the AI-ad-consuming public.
