The Bot Revolution Is Changing Content Marketing—Algorithms and AI for Generating and Distributing Content

  The subject of AI has become increasingly popular in companies ever since

the beginning of 2017. It is co-responsible for the search results on Google

or Bing. In addition, some of our digital assistants on our smartphone as

well as some messenger bots are based on (simple) AI.

At the end of 2015, Google extended its algorithm by AI: Google

RankBrain. Behind it is a system that learns little by little more about the

semantics of user queries and which increasingly improves with this knowledge. The aim: RankBrain is meant to fulfil the users’ needs in an increasingly better way. And with it, Google has taken the first step towards

self-learning algorithms. Many upgrades will be possible in the future with-

out any human assistance, because the systems will learn something new all

on their own.

AI will also play a significant role in content marketing when it comes to

combining contents with each other and promoting them. What still sounds

like dreams of the future will be totally normal in a few years. The abilities

of artificial AI are said to go to such lengths that it can automatically publish

and distribute content on various platforms.



AI already offers useful features for companies that would like to operate

on an international basis. With the help of algorithms, Facebook is able to translate a post into the user’s respective mother tongue. This depends on

the given location, the preferred language and the language in which the

user normally writes posts. The cumbersome multi-posting of contributions

can thus be avoided.

AI is used for, among other things, optimising the targeting of adverts

and search engines. As well as that, information can be tailored to the users’

needs more efficiently in the bot economy.

Customer Engagement with Chatbots and Collaboration Bots: Methods, Chances and Risks of the Use of Bots in Service and Marketing

 Relevance and Potential of Bots for Customer  Obtaining information, flight check-ins or keeping a diary of one’s own diet—all of this is possible in dialogue today. Customers can ask questions via Messenger or WhatsApp or initiate processes. This service is comfortable for the customer, available at all times via mobile and promises fast answers or smooth problem-solving. A meanwhile strongly increasing number of companies is already relying on this means of contact and the figures on chat usage speak in favour of this means supplementing or even replacing many apps and web offers in the future. The reasons for this are manifold. Figures of the online magazine Business Insider 1 reveal a clear develop- ment away from the public post to the use of private messaging services such as Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Facebook meanwhile has a user base of around 1.7 billion people worldwide; 1.1 billion people use WhatsApp, and Twitter can nevertheless still record 310 million us...

Robot Journalism Is Becoming Creative

 Algorithms are able to automatically search the Web for information, pool it and create a readable piece of writing. In addition, data-based reports in the area of sport, the weather or finances are already frequently created automat- ically today. Recently, for example, merely a few minutes after Apple had announced their latest quarterly figures, there was a report by the news agency Associated Press (AP): “Apple tops Street 1Q forecasts”. The financial report deals solely with the mere financial figures, without any human assistance whatsoever. Yet, AP was able to publish their report entirely via AI in line with the AP guidelines. For this purpose, AP launched their corresponding platform Wordsmith at the beginning of 2016, which automatically creates more than 3000 of such financial reports every quarter, and which are pub- lished fast and accurately. It is no longer that easy to distinguish between whether an algorithm or a human has written a text. Another exception of rece...

Possible Limitations of AI-Based Bots

 The examples above already show the present-day potential of AI-based bots. At present, these systems are still in an early stage and still have certain limitations and potentials for optimisation. Twitter Bot Tay by Microsoft Most bots at present are reactive service bots. Engagement bots that actively interact with the users as market and brand ambassadors go one step further. The most famous example here is the chatbot Tay by Microsoft. Microsoft removed Tay from the web apologetically within one day. The example shows that the uncontrolled training of bots by the community can lead to fatal consequences. AI systems still have to learn ethical standards. It thus becomes apparent that even bots require a kind of guideline. Like a journalist has to observe editorial guidelines, bots have to observe certain standards. The next generation of AI-based bots must control and create the possible room for communication. IBM Watson has been able to celebrate quite a few respectable resul...
