11、The 2023 State of Marketing AI Report contains never-before-seen data from more than 900 marketers on how AI is being used in their work.What we learned is that the marketing industry is diving headfirst into AI usage and adoption,but is in desperate need of executive leadership and support to reali

12、ze the transformative benefits of AI in their companies and careers.1.AI IS A CLEAR TOP PRIORITY FOR MARKETERS THIS YEAR.64%of marketers say AI is either very important or critically important to their marketing success over the next 12 months.This is a significant change in sentiment over 2022,when

13、 only 51%said the same thing.2.MARKETERS ARE PRIMARILY LOOKING TO USE AI TO SAVE TIME.77%of marketers say that reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks is the top outcome they want to achieve with AI.This is also the top desired outcome among AI decision-makers and the C-suite.3.THERE IS SIGNIFIC

14、ANT AI ADOPTION IN MARKETING.98%of all marketers surveyed say they are already personally using AI in some waymost commonly,theyre experimenting with it(45%).29%say its already infused into their daily workflows.4.THERE IS SIGNIFICANT AI OPTIMISM IN MARKETING.Not to mention,64%of marketers say they

15、have positive feelings about AIs impact on marketing,business,and society.Just 5%say they have outwardly negative feelings about the technology.(Though 31%are neutral or not sure how to feel.)Executive SummaryMarketing AI Institute and Drift have teamed up once again to provide unparalleled insight

16、into the awareness,understanding,and adoption of artificial intelligence in the marketing industry with the third annual State of Marketing AI Report.20235|2023 State of Marketing AI Report5.CONFIDENCE IN EVALUATING AND PURCHASING AI TECHNOLOGY IS SLOWLY IMPROVING.The percentage of respondents who s

17、ay they have low confidence in evaluating and purchasing AI technology has decreased from 29%in 2022 to 21%today,while the percentage of those expressing medium confidence has increased from 39%in 2022 to 46%today.The percentage of those with high or very high confidence has also modestly improved,f

18、rom 29%last year to 32%this year.6.MOST MARKETERS STILL REMAIN IN THE EARLY STAGES OF UNDERSTANDING AND ADOPTING AI.When asked how they classify their understanding of AI,the vast majority of marketers say theyre at beginner(35%)or intermediate(54%)levels.Just 11%say theyre advanced.Yet,when compare

19、d against the 2022 State of Marketing AI Report,these statistics indicate that many more people have moved from the beginner to intermediate stage of AI understanding.Because in 2022,45%of marketers classified themselves as beginners while only 43%said they were intermediate,indicating that a sizabl

20、e portion of the industry has moved their AI understanding forward in the last 12 months.However,many are still in the early phases of marketing AI transformation.58%of marketers say theyre still learning how AI works,and exploring its applications and potential value.35%say theyre starting to prior

21、itize and run AI pilot projects.And just 7%say theyre actually scaling AI today.7.COMPANIES LAG BEHIND IN PROVIDING AI EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE.78%of respondents say their employers have no internal AI-focused education or training.Predictably,then,when asked about their top barriers to adopting AI,a

22、lack of education and training topped the list for the third straight year.(64%of respondents said it was a barrier.)Other top barriers included a lack of AI awareness or understanding,and a lack of AI strategy.8.COMPANIES LAG BEHIND IN PROVIDING GENERATIVE AI AND ETHICS POLICIES.Only 22%of organiza

23、tions have generative AI policies.And only 21%of organizations have an AI ethics policy or responsible AI principles.Smaller companies($0-$10M in revenue)are the most likely to lack these policies.2023Executive Summary6|2023 State of Marketing AI Report9.LACK OF COMPANY SUPPORT MAY BE CREATING FEAR

24、AND UNCERTAINTY AROUND AI.Despite their widespread AI usage,marketers are still conflicted about how AI will impact their jobs.When asked how AI will affect marketing jobs in the next three years,40%of respondents say they believe more jobs will be eliminated over this time due to AI.Conversely,36%s

25、ay more jobs will be created by AI in the same timeframe.Interestingly,those with the role of CEO/President are more likely than any other role to think that more jobs will be eliminated due to AI in the next 3 years(47%).10.ENTRY-LEVEL ROLES MAY BE PARTICULARLY LAGGING BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO AI.Th

26、ose who say they work in entry-level roles are most likely to say theyre beginners when it comes to understanding AI.They are also far more likely than other seniority levels to not use AI at all,with a full 10%saying they dont use it.Additionally,entry-level roles are most likely to say AI will hav

27、e no meaningful impact on jobs at all(18%).11.CEOS AND CMOS ARE OWNING AI ADOPTION IN MARKETING.Respondents were asked who owns adoption and integration of AI technology for marketing within their organization.CEOs are most commonly cited(35%)as the full owner or a partial owner alongside other role

28、s.CMOs are a close second,with 33%either partially or fully owning AI.Other roles dont come anywhere close.Just 15%of respondents say the Chief Technology Officer is involved in AI ownership,while 8%say the IT department or the Chief Digital Officer is involved.21%say that no one owns AI at all.This

29、 leaves CEOs and CMOs far and away as the two most important roles owning AI within marketing organizations.And,the larger the organization,the more AI ownership falls on CMOs.Smaller organizations of$0-$10M in revenue are most likely to cite the CEO as the AI owner while CMOs begin to be most commo

30、nly cited as partial or full AI owners once organizations grow above$10M in revenue.And out of the 33%of respondents who say CMOs are involved in AI ownership,two-thirds do not include the CEO in a co-ownership rolefurther indicating that CMOs are taking the AI reins in larger companies.2023Executiv

31、e Summary7|2023 State of Marketing AI Report12.CMOS IN PARTICULAR MUST MAKE AI UNDERSTANDING,TRAINING,AND STRATEGY URGENT PRIORITIES.Though CMOs play a starring role in AI ownership,they also have gaps in their AI knowledgegaps that may be partially responsible for why organizations are lagging in A

32、I understanding,training,and strategy.When benchmarked against the rest of the C-suite,CMOs fall behind in AI understanding,confidence,and usage.Among the C-suite,CMOs are most likely to say they have a beginners understanding of AI(30%)and are least likely to say they have an advanced understanding

33、(10%).They also are the least likely to have high or very high degrees of confidence in evaluating AI technology(33%)and are the least likely to be infusing AI into their daily workflows(26%).If organizations expect to survive and thrive in the coming age of AI,CMOs must take urgent action to upskil

34、l themselvesand their teamson AI understanding,usage,and training.2023Executive Summary8|2023 State of Marketing AI ReportThe 2023 State of Marketing AI Report collected responses to 15 questions about AI and its role in marketing,as well as responses to six questions about the demographics of the s

35、urvey takers.The survey took place between April 26 and July 12,2023.Respondents were not required to answer all of the questions in order to submit their responses.918 respondents completed at least some of the survey,with the vast majority(96%)completing the full survey.As such,the data presented

36、in this report may reflect varying participation rates across different data points.Throughout the report,we clearly indicate the sample size of respondents for a particular answer set.In some places,percentages may add up to more than 100%,either due to multiple responses being selected or the roun

37、ding up of percentages for easy reading.The survey was primarily promoted via the Marketing AI Institute website,newsletter,podcast,and webinars,so it is possible that respondents,who have shown a predisposition to AI content and information,may have higher awareness and adoption levels of AI than t

50、 Marketing AI Report,respondents were asked to answer 15 questions about their AI knowledge and how their organization uses AI in marketing.The questions came in two types.There were questions where respondents could only select one answer and there were questions where respondents could select mult

51、iple answers.In each key finding that follows,questions with multiple responses possible are indicated as such.When asked how they classify their understanding of AI terminology and capabilities,54%of respondents say they are at the intermediate level,while just 35%say they are beginners.This was a

52、major difference from 2022,when 45%said they were beginners and 43%said they were intermediate,indicating that a significant portion of the industry has moved their AI understanding forward in the last 12 months.Those with advanced levels of understanding,however,remain largely unchanged compared to

53、 last year(11%in 2023 vs.12%in 2022).AI understanding appears to increase with seniority of role.Entry-level roles are most likely to say they are beginners(51%of entry-level respondents;n=51),with managers coming next(46%;n=218),followed by directors(37%;n=167).Chief Marketing Officers are the role

54、 most likely to say they have an intermediate understanding of AI(60%;n=79).Of the roles saying they have an advanced understanding of AI,other C-Suite roles(outside of CEOs or CMOs)lead the pack with 28%(n=36)saying theyre at an advanced level of understanding.CEOs come in second(23%;n=205),and not

55、ably,just 10%of CMOs consider themselves advanced in AI understanding.54%OF MARKETERS CLASSIFY THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF AI AS INTERMEDIATE.Understanding of AIQ:“HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF AI TERMINOLOGY AND CAPABILITIES?”n=91613|2023 State of Marketing AI ReportKey FindingsMore than

56、a third of respondents(38%)say theyre decision-makers within their organization,with the authority and budget to purchase marketing AI technology.Another 25%say theyre champions who advocate for marketing AI purchases internally,while 20%are influencers who research and recommend solutions.That mean

57、s,overall,83%of 2023s respondents are involved in researching,recommending,championing,and/or deciding on marketing AI technology purchases.Most often,respondents who are CEOs/presidents are the ones making decisions,with 82%(n=203)saying they are decision-makers with the authority and budget to mak

60、 their confidence as medium this year.This year,fewer people also rate themselves at the low confidence level21%compared to last years 29%.More also say their confidence is high or very high this year than last year32%compared to 29%respectively.In line with respondents understanding of AI,it seems

61、the biggest gains have been made in moving people from lower levels to medium levels of confidence in evaluating AI technology.As a whole,decision-makers predominately say they have medium levels of confidence when evaluating AI technology(42%;n=345).A sizable portion also say they have high degrees

62、 of confidence(30%).Predictably,those who say they have an advanced understanding of AI are also most likely to say they had high confidence in evaluating AI technology(50%of this group;n=101).Interestingly,out of all respondents who say they have beginner levels of AI understanding,most say they ha

63、ve medium confidence in evaluating AI by a slight margin(44%of this group;n=318).42%say they had low confidence.CEOs/Presidents(n=203)are tied with Other C-Suite roles(n=36)in having the largest proportion of respondents with high confidence in evaluating marketing technology(33%for both).However,Ot

64、her C-Suite roles are a bit more likely to say they have very high confidence(17%)than CEOs/Presidents(15%).Only 24%of CMOs(n=78)say they have a high degree of confidence in evaluating marketing technology and just 9%rate themselves as having very high confidence.The majority(53%)rate their confiden

66、sWhen asked about how AI will affect marketing jobs in the next 3 years,respondents are pessimistic,albeit by a small margin.40%of respondents say AI will eliminate more jobs than it creates over the next 3 years,while 36%say more jobs will be created by AI.It isnt possible to directly compare this

67、answer to 2022s report because last years report asked about AIs impact on marketing jobs over a 10-year timeline.When asked that question in 2022,57%of marketers said more jobs would be created by AI than eliminated and just 22%said more jobs would be eliminated.This could mean that marketers are o

68、verall far more pessimistic this year versus last year,thanks to the stunning advancements in AI over the last 12 months,or it could mean that marketers are more optimistic that,over time,AI will create new careers and opportunities,but believe short-term job elimination will have to come first.Inte

69、restingly,CEOs/Presidents are more likely than any other role to think that more jobs will be eliminated by AI(47%;n=204)on a 3-year timeline.Entry-level roles are most likely to say that AI will not have a meaningful impact on jobs(18%;n=51).CMOs are the most optimistic group out of all roles,being

70、 most likely to say they think more jobs will be created by AI(41%;n=75)over the next three yearsa higher percentage than any of the other roles.However,CMOs as a group are still exactly divided,with 41%also saying that they think more jobs will be eliminated by AI.40%OF MARKETERS SURVEYED SAY AI WI

73、ually scaling AI.While last years question allowed respondents to pick multiple answers,so a direct comparison isnt possible,in 2022,67%of respondents said they were in the understanding phase and 36%in the piloting phase.The biggest swing between last year and this year was in scaling.Last year,15%

74、said they were scaling AI,compared to this years 7%.Out of all company sizes,$1B+enterprises are most likely to be in the preliminary understanding phase of AI(66%;n=74).Organizations with$50-$100M in revenue are the leaders in the piloting phase(40%;n=50),and$0-$1M size firms(n=272)are tied with$1-
