AI integration in digital advertising and safety

Overview

The digital advertising landscape is seeing increased competition through the integration of artificial intelligence. AppLovin has established a significant presence in mobile app monetization using its Axon AI technology, reporting a 70% revenue increase in fiscal year 2025 to nearly $5.5 billion.

Meta Platforms is advancing its AI capabilities within its social media ecosystem through tools like the Meta AI Business Assistant, which enables campaign planning, creative asset generation, and audience discovery via conversational prompts. To monetize these features, the company is introducing Meta One, a subscription service with monthly plans ranging from $15 to $500. During Advertising Week New York, Meta also introduced generative AI video tools to transform static assets into video content.

Beyond advertising, Meta is deploying large language models (LLMs) to enhance safety measures. The company is using AI to detect ‘signposting,’ a tactic where ads are used to direct users to illegal content. By analyzing both ad creatives and destination landing pages, Meta aims to block policy-violating sites. Additionally, Meta is utilizing AI agents to conduct security testing by searching for vulnerabilities in moderation mechanisms and identifying users attempting to bypass bans by creating new profiles.

In the first half of 2026, Meta reported proactively addressing 33.2 million pieces of exploitation content globally, with detection rates exceeding 97%. In India, Meta reported actioning 5.3 million pieces of such content during the same period, with a proactive detection rate exceeding 98%.
