Artificial intelligence is revolutionising the entire digital advertising ecosystem, and programmatic advertising is no exception. Roman Vrublivskyi, CEO of SmartHub and member of the Forbes Technology Council delves into this transformation in his Forbes article titled “Growth Of AI In Programmatic: Just A Trend Or Must-Have?”

Vrublivskyi highlights how the majority of marketers are already leveraging AI-powered tools in programmatic advertising or planning to do so soon, with only a small fraction of 5% having no such plans.
