Abstract
In today’s dynamic digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining the personalization paradigm in digital marketing. This review explores how AI has evolved personalization from static demographic-based messaging to real-time, hyper-individualized user experiences. By leveraging machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing, AI empowers marketers to analyze vast data sets, uncover behavioral insights, and deliver content with unprecedented relevance and precision. The article highlights four critical domains where AI is driving transformation: data-driven customer insights, real-time personalization engines, AI-generated content, and ethical considerations. AI enables marketers to shift from reactive to predictive strategies anticipating user needs, segmenting audiences psychographically, and optimizing campaigns dynamically across channels. Real-time personalization technologies adjust messaging instantaneously based on user interaction, while AI-powered segmentation creates emotionally resonant content tailored to individual preferences. However, these capabilities come with ethical challenges, particularly regarding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and transparency. As AI systems become more sophisticated, maintaining consumer trust through ethical governance and regulatory compliance is essential. This review draws on contemporary studies and real-world applications to underscore AI’s dual role: as a powerful technological engine and as a facilitator of more empathetic, human-centered marketing. Ultimately, the AI advantage lies not just in efficiency but in its ability to deepen engagement and foster meaningful brand-consumer relationships. The future of marketing personalization will depend as much on ethical stewardship and strategic intent as on algorithmic prowess.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Marketing, Personalization, Predictive Analytics, Consumer Engagement.
