Key takeaways:

• AI is seen as an opportunity rather than a threat in the industry, with its potential to enhance efficiency, personalisation, culture, and trust.

• There's a need for more collaboration with regulatory bodies to ensure ethical use of AI, focusing on consent, safety, security, and control.

• AI can help brands optimize their media spend by bringing media and creative aspects closer together through data.

• The future of advertising could see a greater fusion of media and creative elements, accelerated by AI.

• Brands are encouraged to view AI as a journey, taking a holistic approach rather than focusing on individual campaigns
