A Crash Course on Artificial Intelligence and Its Impacts

What is AI, how does it work, what is the future of AI, and what are its limitations? According to ChatGPT, these are all questions people commonly ask about Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how we interact with technology in the past and will continue to grow to aid us in the future. Yet, concern has followed the wake of AI’s growth. Despite the age-old “will this take over the world” question, how will it impact the future of marketing, our jobs, or the content creation processes?

A Brief Look Into AI


Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that deals with creating intelligent machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. The development of AI can be traced back to the 1950s, with the creation of the first AI software programs, including The Logic Theorist and The General Problem Solver. These early programs used simple rule-based systems to solve problems. Since then, AI has come a long way, and several different types of AI are now available. One of the most popular types is chatbots that simulate human conversations, answer frequently asked questions, and can even write a pesky essay for you. These chatbots can even be verbalized and hold discussions with us. But don't take my word for it; just ask Alexa.


Another type of AI is machine learning software, which allows machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. In other words, the robot is teaching itself. Machine learning algorithms can classify data, predict outcomes, and recognize patterns. Deep learning software is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks to simulate how the human brain works. So, please don’t be scared, but the robot has now built itself a brain capable of image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and driving your Tesla. Machine learning developed further to fit specific business needs with AI Platforms. Platforms can provide various tools and services, including machine learning models, APIs, and pre-built customizable models to suit particular business needs.

Recent Breakthroughs in AI


The development of AI has been impressive in recent years, and several prominent players have emerged in the industry. Chat GPT, Jupyter Notebooks, and Google Cloud AI Platforms are just a few available platforms for developing and deploying AI models. These platforms can combine deep learning and machine learning to create sophisticated AI applications that can learn and adapt over time, so much so that Chat GPT can give an 82% accurate medical diagnosis and has a 90% chance of passing the bar exam.


Recent developments have given AI a digital smock and paintbrush with Open Art, HotPot, and Adobe Firefly, Adobe's new AI-powered art and marketing tools. These platforms can create and analyze images and artworks. Some can suggest relevant keywords and tags making it easier for businesses to optimize their content for search engines, thus providing valuable insights into customer behavior. This new wave of AI development will significantly impact the graphic design industry as beta versions are deployed and improved.

AI and Marketing


If AI is virtually capable of being a doctor or a lawyer, is it capable of coming for marketing jobs? The answer is no. However, it has changed the approach to marketing and social media. Agencies still offer a higher level of creativity and a more personalized approach than AI may be able to provide. They can also provide more in-depth customer data analysis, which can help businesses make informed decisions about their marketing strategies. Yet, AI is becoming a priceless tool in its ability to analyze customer data and provide insights into customer behavior and preferences. In practiced hands, this information allows marketers to create more personalized campaigns, improve customer engagement, and drive sales. Thus increasing the speed at which agencies can provide their services and further propel their clientele's success.


AI has come a long way since the days of clunky search engines and basic chatbots. The development of sophisticated AI applications has changed how we interact with technology, and the industry shows no signs of slowing down. While AI is a powerful tool for businesses, it can't replace the personal touch and creativity of a marketing agency. So, if you want to take your marketing to the next level, consider partnering with an agency that can provide the best of both worlds!
