Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION:

In the long term, artificial intelligence (AI) will become a key component of every industry in the world. The biggest changes in the AI ecosystem can be seen in the latest developments in AIbased engineering. This can be seen in company's new concepts, goals and financial commitments in the area of AI adoption. With its ability to detect faces and objects, the technology is very advanced and has many business applications. While object detection can be used to segment and analyze images, facial recognition can be used for security purposes to distinguish individuals. Artificial intelligence on human profiles works in the same way as cookies, which enable other personalized services based on user preferences. Companies are experimenting with facial recognition software to determine a customer's personality and recommend suitable products.
In digital marketing, AI focuses on lead conversion and user retention. Interactive website design, smart email marketing, insightful conversations and other digital marketing services can help you drive users towards your business goals. The impact of AI on digital marketing will be determined by many factors. Machine learning (ML), a subset of AI, teaches computer programs that can collect data and use it to learn about itself. We collect information from various sources, including websites, online reviews, menus and social media accounts. AI uses data to create and deliver tailored content to viewers. Artificial intelligence technology enables comprehensive online research for restaurants and customers.By using AI in their marketing plans, businesses can provide them with more data and connect with potential customers at better times.
Through social networks such as Facebook and Instagram and artificial intelligence for advertising on digital          platforms, digital marketing provides a unique and enjoyable experience for consumers. These platforms review user data before making offers that meet the user's needs. AI can also help marketers predict and spot trends. This will ensure your money is spent and prevent your business from being overwhelmed by digital advertising.            Computer vision is the process by which computers recognize objects, features, and actions in images. Application areas include facial recognition, medical image analysis, public safety and security monitoring. When computer vision and artificial intelligence are properly combined, robots can predict future events and act appropriately based on potential changes. 
AI makes it easy to create customer profiles and understand the customer journey. This enables brands to quickly and easily provide intelligent and personalized information to customers at all levels of the marketing funnel and across all channels. Artificial intelligence systems in digital marketing can identify what is most likely to drive usersback to your website based on historical data. AI determines which customers will unsubscribe from a service and analyzes general subscriber characteristics. These statistics help marketers plan their next campaign and  strategize to encourage people to stick around.

II. VARIOUS APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN DIGITAL MARKETING

A. Customer Segmentation

Kotler and Keller (2016) argue that customer segmentation helps companies determine the most profitablecustomer segments, create targeted marketing efforts, and allocate resources to be better. AI algorithms allow marketers to better segment audiences by analyzing demographics, online behavior patterns, and social media interactions (Smith et al., 2019). By identifying specific customer segments based on their wants and needs, marketers can tailor messages to appeal to each group individually.

B. Personalized Advertising

Digital marketing is different from the way AI has changed other industries.Personalized ads are offers designed for each individual customer and placed alongside website content to integrate with the website they are viewing.Personal advertising allows companies to reach customers with relevant offers. Marketers are currently spending money on advertising because they see good results.
AI recommendation systems use machine learning algorithms to deliver personalized ads to consumers. These systems analyze user behavioral data to understand their individual needs and deliver relevant ads that convert them into sales. Personalized ads not only improve user experience, but also increase conversion rates for businesses.

C. Content Creation:

Gagnon (2014) suggests “show what you know” when creating content to promote a business and its goods or services. Developing content that educates audiences about what the organization "knows" should be part of any company's strategy. According to Gagnon (2014), "knowledge" refers to "improving organizational knowledge" that should be useful, entertaining, and competitively relevant. This should allow the content to remain in the minds of the viewers so that they return to the company to fulfil their needs (Ibid). Artificial intelligence technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) have made significant progress in automatically generating high-quality content. 

D. Chatbots

In digital marketing platforms, chatbots are artificial intelligence-based software programs that provide customers with instructions on how to interpret human actions and trigger conversational questions in natural language. In addition to being used for conversations, chatbots are also used by professionals in established fields such as doctors and lawyers. In addition to other human rights issues, classification, civil liability, consumer protection, cybersecurity, privacy and data protection, and intellectual property rights (IPR) are considered..

E. Data Analysis

AI algorithms can process and analyze large amounts of data in real time, providing marketers with insights into customer behavior and needs. Marketers can use AI..based data analytics to gain a competitive advantage by understanding customer needs and benefiting from their marketing efforts.
