TikTok Goes All-In on AI Ad Automation

TikTok's latest AI-powered ad tools are a clear signal that the platform is betting big on automation, despite its legal battles in the US. With "Performance Automation," advertisers simply provide assets, budget and goals, and TikTok's machine learning takes care of the rest - even creating the ads for you.

It's TikTok's answer to Google's Performance Max and Meta's Advantage+, proving AI is the future of digital advertising. But with automation comes less control and transparency for marketers.

For now though, it seems to be working - one early tester saw a 4x return on investment. As the platform faces an uncertain future stateside, it's doing all it can to keep advertisers spending.
