Our AI Marketing Tenets
1. Develop a charter for the safe, transparent
and responsible use of AI across marketing
12
Ideas for Statement of AI Marketing Ethics
13
Do no harm
AI technology may not be used to deceive, manipulate or in any other way harm the wellbeing of
marketing audiences
Build trust
AI should be used to build rather than erode trust in marketing. This means using AI to improve marketing
transparency, honesty and fairness, and to eliminate false, manipulative or deceptive content
Do not conceal
AI systems should not conceal their identity or pose as humans in interactions with marketing audiences
Be helpful
AI in marketing should be put to the service of marketing audiences by helping people make better
purchase decisions based on their genuine needs through the provision of clear, truthful and unbiased
information
People want AI in marketing to be regulated…
14
25%
75%
Yes No

Do you feel that brands should need
your explicit consent before they use
AI when marketing to you?
Do you believe the use of AI in
marketing should regulated with a
legally-binding code of conduct?

You discover that your favourite
brand is using AI to tailor offers,
ads and recommendations to your
personal preferences. How do you
feel about the brand?
You discover that the latest ads from
your favourite brand have been
created by AI rather than humans.
How do you feel about the brand?
You discover that your favourite
brand is using AI instead of
humans to offer customer
service and support. How do
feel about the brand?

3. Communicate clearly the problem that you solve
19
The Sea-squirt Principle*
Intelligence evolved to do one thing. Solve problems. 

Unless AI is a solution to a real problem, it’s not intelligent it’s dumb
20
*The sea-squirt eats its own brain when it has solved its main problem in life - finding a home. Illustrates what brains and intelligence are for. Solving problems. Unless AI solves a problem, it has neither intelligence, nor appeal.

make people’s lives easier

mere technology - a coach, counsellor or companion

It is 2018.
You discover that your partner has been having sex with the latest
generation of sex robots. These anatomically-enhanced androids
have programmable personalities, can hold conversations and are
designed to fulfil sexual desires
If your partner had sex with a sex robot without telling you, would
you consider it cheating?

8. Promote AI as deeply personal technology that always
has the best interests of the user as its prime directive
33
34
It is 2049.
You are riding alone in a driverless car along Pacific Coast
Highway. The autonomous vehicle rounds a corner and detects a
crosswalk full of children.
It brakes, but your lane is unexpectedly full of sand from a recent
rock slide. It can't get traction. Your car does some calculations: If it
continues braking, it will almost certainly kill five children. The only
way to save them is to steer you off the cliff to your certain death.
What should the car do?
35
“
Mercedes-Benz executive Christoph von
Hugo said that the carmaker’s future
autonomous cars will save the car’s driver
and passengers, even if that means
sacrificing the lives of pedestrians, in a
situation where those are the only two
options.

9. Frame AI as a solution that helps people
stay safe and secure
37
38
It is the future.
The armed forces have developed fully autonomous military

questioning on the basis of this predictive policing
technology alone?
Base: General population sample of 2000 adults aged 18-65 in UK. WPP Lightspeed Online Consumer Panel: Fieldwork conducted Q3, 2017.
10. Do not conceal the use AI in marketing or allow AI to
conceal its identity and pose as a human (Blade Runner rule)
