AI Virtual Influencers

Would you buy something recommended by a robot? We're not talking about a tool that analyzes your recent purchases and suggests new ones based on data (algorithms already do that quite well), but rather a literal influencer generated by AI. Apparently, yes. We had the case of the first AI-generated influencer in 2023 by a European agency and, now, social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are making their first moves in this direction. The Beat, of course, has brought you all the details, along with other important marketing trends to keep you updated. Grab your coffee and join us.
