mjburgess has a point. There is a relationship with online advertising for the following reason: online advertising has been a perfect testbed for the latest AI research for years because (1) it leverages massive amounts of data (2) is not mission-critical (the human cost of failure is low) (3) has little accountability regarding fairness and explainability. For these reasons, online advertising has been surfing the latest AI hype, well in front of other domains (healthcare, defense, education, etc.) where either (1), (2) or (3) is not met.
