AI-driven search ad spending set to surge to $26 billion by 2029, data shows
By Jaspreet Singh (Reuters) -Spending on AI-powered search advertising is poised to surge to nearly $26 billion by 2029 from just over $1 billion this year in the U.S., driven by rapid adoption of the technology and more sophisticated user targeting, data from Emarketer showed on Wednesday. Companies that rely on traditional keyword-based search ads could experience revenue declines due to the growing popularity of AI search ads, which offer greater convenience and engagement for users, according to the research firm. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Search giants such as Alphabet-owned Google and Microsoft's Bing have added AI capabilities to better compete with chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, which provide users with direct information without requiring to click through multiple results. Apple is exploring the integration of AI-driven search capabilities into its Safari browser, potentially moving away from its longstanding partnership with Google. The report has come as concerns grew about users increasingly turning to the chatbots for conversational search and AI-powered search results could upend business models of some companies. Online education firm Chegg said in May that it would lay off about 248 employees as it looks to cut costs and streamline operations because students are using AI-powered tools including ChatGPT over traditional edtech platforms. QUOTE "Publishers and other sites are feeling the pain from AI search. As they lose out on traffic, we're seeing publishers lean into subscriptions and paid AI licensing deals to bolster revenue," Emarketer analyst Minda Smiley said. GRAPHIC CONTEXT AI search ad spending is expected to constitute nearly 1% of total search ad spending this year and 13.6% by 2029 in the U.S., according to Emarketer. Sectors such as financial services, technology, telecom, and healthcare are embracing AI as they are seeing clear advantages in using the technology to enhance their ad strategies, while the retail industry's adoption is slow, the report said. Google recently announced the expansion of its AI-powered search capabilities into the consumer packaged goods sector through enhancements in Google Shopping.

Digital Advertising Alliance Announces Review of Application of DAA Self-Regulatory Principles to AI Systems and Tools
DAA's Principles and Communications Committee Will Consider New Guidance Around AI Collection and Use of Interest-Based Advertising Data WASHINGTON, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) today announced the launch of a process to consider developing new guidance around the application of the DAA Self-Regulatory Principles to the collection and use of interest-based advertising (IBA) data by the rapidly-expanding universe of AI systems and tools that might have access to such data. "Few, if any, industries change faster than advertising, and the DAA has stayed ahead of those changes for the last 15 years by routinely reviewing, developing and releasing timely policy guidance around new technologies and business practices, from IoT to CTV, mobile data, and cross-device data," said Lou Mastria, CEO of the DAA. "As the advertising industry increasingly looks to AI tools and systems, it's vital that industry codes of conduct reflect that reality to serve companies and their consumers." "This review will look at the steps companies can take to ensure they are providing appropriate information and control to consumers around the collection and use of IBA data by those systems, thus enabling responsible and sustainable consumer engagement and growth," Mastria continued. The DAA's Principles and Communications Committee will manage the process for the review and development of potential AI-related guidance for the industry. Among the issues it will consider are the appropriate industry participants and process to develop such guidance, the current and anticipated use cases for IBA data by AI systems and tools, consumer expectations around the collection and use of such data, and the legal and regulatory gaps/overlaps with any such guidance. "Companies across the advertising supply chain are moving quickly to integrate AI to better reach their customers, deliver more effective messages, and strengthen their businesses," said Michael Signorelli, Partner, Venable LLP, which will help draft any AI guidance. "As the industry deploys AI-powered tools and systems, we need to ensure that the industry's preeminent self-regulatory regime keeps pace with those changes and continues to provide individuals with information and choices around covered use of IBA data by AI systems." According to the McKinsey "State of AI" survey released in March 2025, AI has been broadly deployed across marketing organizations, with marketing/sales tied with IT as the top business function at surveyed companies to have adopted AI in its work. Similarly, a survey conducted last year by SurveyMonkey found that 56% of marketers say their company is taking an active role in implementing and using AI. In the coming weeks, the DAA Principles and Communications Committee and participating stakeholders representing key trade associations, advertisers, publishers, ad tech providers, and agencies will convene to start the process of evaluating and potentially setting AI guidance for the DAA Principles. About the Digital Advertising Alliance The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) is an independent not-for-profit organization which establishes and enforces responsible privacy practices for relevant digital advertising, while giving consumers information and control over the types of digital advertising they receive. The DAA runs the YourAdChoices, mobile AppChoices and PoliticalAds programs. Underlying the DAA's efforts are the DAA Self-Regulatory Principles, including updates to address changing technologies and business models such as multi-site, mobile, and cross-device data. Compliance with the DAA Principles is independently enforced for all companies in digital advertising by BBB National Programs and the Association of National Advertisers (ANA). The DAA is managed by a consortium of the leading national advertising and marketing trade groups, including the 4As; American Advertising Federation; ANA; Interactive Advertising Bureau; and Network Advertising Initiative, with the advice of BBB National Programs.
