In this talk, we survey how AI is currently being used in online advertising, and then look closer at personalised and contextual advertising. We discuss how advertisers reason when they set up their campaigns, what changes when the AI systems that execute the campaigns become more capable, and what could happen when these techniques are applied to political opinion formation. On a more positive note, we will also talk about how the negative effects can mitigated, and how consumers can sometimes use the workings of the advertising AIs to their own advantage.
