Big Tech Uses Super Bowl Commercials to Give A.I. Human Touch.
In a bid to humanize artificial intelligence (A.I.), big tech companies are tapping into one of America's most iconic events - the Super Bowl. During this year's telecast, several A.I.-related firms will air commercials showcasing their creations as they seamlessly integrate with everyday life.
Open AI, for instance, features a 60-second ad during NBC's Super Bowl coverage featuring real people using their hands to read, sketch, design, ask questions and even guide robotic arms. The commercial aims to highlight the capabilities of Open AI's tools while emphasizing that "people are actually the hero" in harnessing these technologies.
Amazon, meanwhile, has also joined the fray with its new A.I.-powered Alexa+ assistant. The company's commercial features actor Chris Hemsworth envisioning his demise as Alexa+ plots an automatic garage door or a rigged fireplace - all while INXS's "The Devil Inside" plays in the background. However, Amazon's marketing strategy seeks to shift the conversation towards more positive aspects of A.I., such as augmenting human capabilities.
Anthropic, another company airing its commercial during the Super Bowl, takes a more tongue-in-cheek approach by poking fun at A.I.-firm advertising. The ad reads: "Ads are coming to A.I., but not to Claude." By showcasing its own interface and emphasizing user-friendliness, Anthropic seeks to differentiate itself from other A.I. players.
In addition to these high-profile commercials, Genspark has tapped actor Matthew Broderick in its Super Bowl spot, while Google highlights the capabilities of its Gemini A.I. interface in a commercial featuring a mother and child envisioning their dream home.
Open AI's chief marketing officer, Kate Rouch, believes that by showcasing real people using these tools, the company can convey a message that "people are actually the hero" when it comes to harnessing A.I. She hopes that this approach will help her company stand out from the rest and foster more positive conversations around A.I.'s role in everyday life.
As the A.I. landscape continues to evolve, it's clear that big tech companies are taking steps to reframe their brands and build trust with consumers. By tapping into an iconic event like the Super Bowl, these firms aim to demonstrate the value of A.I.-powered technologies while addressing concerns about job displacement and loss of human agency.
In a rapidly changing world where technology is increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, it's essential for companies like Open AI, Amazon, Anthropic, Genspark, and Google to provide more nuanced portrayals of their creations. By showcasing the potential benefits of A.I., these firms can help pave the way for a more harmonious coexistence between humans and machines.
