Google is always looking for ways to enhance a user’s online experience, with artificial intelligence (AI) being at the forefront of this change. Not only does AI provide a better online experience for users by showing them the most relevant content at the right time, but its automation capabilities are also providing advertisers with more efficient Google Ads setup and management processes.
