Joe Pinsker: 我研究了Strategic Vision市场调研公司的调查数据,发现过去十年人们对汽车控制的直观感受越来越差,从2015年的79%下降到去年的56%。许多司机觉得汽车的智能科技太多了,反而降低了使用体验,他们希望能够简单地操作一些功能,例如打开空调,而不是在触屏上多次点击。汽车智能科技在好用时很好,但一旦出现故障,就会给司机带来很多麻烦。尽管触屏不会消失,但一些汽车厂商已经开始将一些基本控制功能从触屏转移到物理按钮上,这表明了一种趋势的转变。 Patrick Coffey: AI广告规划和购买工具能够代替广告商做决策,例如广告投放位置、目标受众和广告最终形式等。AI工具的决策过程对广告商来说缺乏透明度,许多广告商对AI工具的缺乏控制感到不满,一些大型广告商甚至完全拒绝使用这些工具,因为他们不信任算法,特别是对于受限类别(如酒类)的广告。然而,对于小型企业来说,AI广告工具的“设置并忘记”功能非常实用,这也有利于Facebook等大型科技公司增加广告收入。广告商对AI工具的接受程度取决于销售额的提升,只要销售额上升,他们就愿意放弃部分控制权。AI工具的普及也影响了科技公司内部的岗位设置,例如减少了销售人员的需求。Google和Meta声称他们的AI广告工具得到了积极的反馈,并且在AI接管之前,广告商仍然可以进行一些选择。
