Google moves marketing to AI: the end of Display Ads

Google has officially shut down Display Network, the platform that was the standard for online marketers for 20 years. Marketers now move to AI Demand Gen, where manual targeting, placement selection and A/B testing of creatives give way to automation driven by artificial intelligence. The change ends the era of classic digital marketing, in which advertisers controlled each step of a campaign.
