In answer to the question, ‘when is it acceptable to use AI in marketing? Or should it always be a human?’ Zillig said that “baby steps rather than big leaps” should be taken at first but that the potential is huge. 

He argued that it was of course “totally acceptable to use AI in marketing” and that it was “potentially possible to apply AI - either in part or in full.”

That said, he wouldn’t want agency partners taking briefs and just typing into Chat GPT, “given the great minds in their buildings.” However, he is sure that isn't the case!"
