ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
The ability of a computer system to deal with
ambiguity, by making predictions using
previously gathered data, and learning from
errors in those predictions

RECAP
Expert Systems - use rules to approximate intelligence.
“Dumb A.I.”
Artificial Intelligence - system navigates ambiguity by
learning from data. “Smartish A.I.”
Massive amounts of code
Google has tons of A.I. driving search and ads

high, went down,
and are coming

THIS COULD MEAN…
๏ Optimize for popular TV shows and major ad campaigns
๏ Separate in-home vs. out-of-home ad groups (like mobile
vs. desktop customization)

VERIFIED
๏ Answer boxes begin rolling out (#1 position sees 15%
avg. traffic drop — now roughly position #2 equivalent)
๏ Natural language improvements (voice search users
perform 43% of searches at home)
