How Close Are We to Search Engine Marketing Running Itself?

Hi friends,

There's a new post today on the blog by SEM manager Armen Keshishian. How Close Are We to Search Marketing Running Itself? Find out.

All around the web are speculations regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of our civilization. The idea that computers will take over the majority of jobs in the workplace today has become well accepted. Some careers will be destroyed, although many more will be born as a result.

Warren Buffett stated that he believes AI will kill jobs but is ultimately good for society. Elon Musk is attempting to morph nature and technology with his new idea for Neuralink, a company he is launching to merge man and machine. And Mark Cuban thinks that the world's first trillionaire will be as a result of AI.

So what? How does this affect your day to day, or even your future? To understand the trajectory of SEM automation, we take a brief look at PPC history and the
 news about machine learning technologies in the online advertising space.
