"We are all asking a similar question right now: How much AI should we use? Should AI decide a multimillion-dollar ad budget? Probably not without human oversight. Should it micro-adjust bids in real time? Absolutely. Treating a simple chatbot the same way we treat a complex, generative campaign-planning engine invites failure. We risk degrading strategy, brand voice or compliance when critical human judgment is removed."
"The AI is operating 24/7 with zero human check-ins aside from monitoring. This level is reserved for high-volume, high-frequency, low-risk tasks where the objective is clear and metric-driven. Think of your programmatic media buying engine. If your goal is simply to maximize clicks or conversions within a fixed budget, the AI should be autonomous. It is mathematically superior at micro-adjusting bids every millisecond than any human could ever be."
AI usage should vary by task risk, frequency, and clarity of objectives. Total automation suits high-volume, high-frequency, low-risk, metric-driven tasks where continuous micro-adjustments yield superior efficiency. High-volume content generation benefits from AI drafts and creative variants, but humans must retain veto authority to protect brand voice, ethical standards, and emotional messaging. Leaders must intentionally design decision architectures that define the level of human control required for every automated task, aligning oversight with business impact, trust, and compliance requirements.
