INTRODUCTION
The digital age has ushered in an era of information overload. Consumers are constantly
bombarded with generic marketing messages, making it increasingly difficult for brands to
stand out (Abildtrup, 2024). In this competitive landscape, personalization has become the key
to unlocking deeper customer connections. Imagine receiving a birthday discount on your
favorite brand of shoes or a product you recently browsed online. These personalized touches
grab attention and foster a sense of value for consumers.
However, traditional methods of personalization often rely on basic segmentation and data
analysis, limiting their effectiveness (Abrahams et al., 2023). This paper delves into the
transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing personalization. AI
algorithms possess the power to analyze vast datasets, uncovering hidden customer insights that
traditional methods miss. It explores how AI leverages theories of consumer engagement to
craft personalized messages that resonate with individual needs (Adaga et al., 2024).
Furthermore, it examines the impact of AI on consumer engagement, analyzing how it fosters
deeper connections and ultimately drives brand loyalty. The Rise idea AI, Personalizing
Marketing for a Digital Ag In the digital age, consumers are bombarded with marketing
messages. To stand out, brands need to move beyond generic advertising and embrace
marketing personalization. This approach tailors messages and content to individual customer
needs, preferences, and behaviors, Personalization is crucial because it fosters deeper
connections with consumers (Addula et al., 2023).

truly connect with consumers, brands need to personalize their marketing. This means tailoring
messages, recommendations, and experiences to individual preferences and needs. Personalized
marketing fosters a sense of relevance and connection, ultimately leading to higher engagement
and success for brands (Ajayi et al., 2024).
Theoretical Framework and Consumer Engagement Theories
This paper has explored the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing
personalization. By leveraging AI to analyze vast amounts of customer data and tailor marketing
messages to individual needs, brands can foster deeper consumer engagement, ultimately
leading to increased brand loyalty and sales success. Theories of consumer engagement provide
a valuable framework for understanding the impact of AI-powered personalization (Alamsyah
and Syahrir, 2024).
The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) posits that message elaboration (deep thinking about
a message) enhances persuasion. Personalized messages that resonate with individual needs and
interests encourage deeper elaboration, leading to higher engagement. The Uses and
Gratifications Theory suggests consumers actively seek information and experiences that fulfill
specific needs and wants. AI personalization caters to these needs by delivering relevant content
and recommendations, creating a more engaging user experience (Alirezaie et al., 2024).
The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) highlights the importance of observational learning, social
influence, and self-efficacy in shaping consumer behavior. AI can leverage social proof by
showcasing what similar customers are buying or enjoying. Additionally, personalized
marketing messages can cater to individual self-perception. For instance, an ad for fitness
apparel that aligns with a customer's fitness goals reinforces their self-image as a health-
conscious individual, increasing engagement with the message (Amoo et al., 2024). Consumers
are bombarded with generic marketing messages. Personalized messages that address individual
needs and interests cut through the noise, grabbing attention and sparking engagement. Enhance
User Experience, Personalized recommendations and content create a more enjoyable and
engaging user experience. Instead of irrelevant ads, consumers encounter products and services
that align with their preferences, fostering a positive brand perception (Anyanwu et al., 2024).
Personalized marketing that demonstrates an understanding of individual needs fosters trust and
loyalty, encouraging repeat business and positive word-of-mouth marketing. Ethical Practices
and Continuous Evolution While AI-powered personalization offers immense potential, it is
crucial to prioritize responsible data practices and ensure transparency. Consumers must feel
comfortable with how their data is used to personalize their experiences (Aripin et al., 2024)
Additionally, brands need to be transparent about AI's role in personalization and avoid
misleading consumers. The future of AI in marketing personalization is brimming with
possibilities. AI models will continue to evolve, incorporating new data sources and becoming
more sophisticated in their ability to predict consumer behavior. This will enable brands to
create hyper-personalized experiences that further blur the lines between marketing and genuine
customer connection (Asaju, 2024). In conclusion, AI-powered marketing personalization
represents a significant paradigm shift. By leveraging consumer engagement theories and
prioritizing ethical practices, brands can utilize AI to forge deeper connections with consumers,
driving engagement, loyalty, and ultimately, long-term success in the ever-evolving digital
marketing landscape.

This paper explored the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in personalizing
marketing strategies. We demonstrated how AI, by analyzing vast amounts of customer data,
can tailor messages to individual needs, fostering deeper consumer engagement and ultimately
driving brand loyalty and sales success (Atadoga et al., 2024). Elaboration Likelihood Model
(ELM), personalized messages resonate with individual needs and interests, encouraging deeper
thinking and leading to higher engagement.
AI caters to individual needs by delivering relevant content and recommendations, creating a
more engaging user experience Deliver Increased Relevance, Personalized messages cut
through the noise by addressing individual needs and interests, grabbing attention and sparking
engagement. Enhance User Experience, Personalized recommendations and content create a
more enjoyable and engaging experience, fostering a positive brand perception. Boost Brand
Loyalty, Personalized marketing that demonstrates an understanding of individual needs fosters
trust and loyalty, encouraging repeat business and positive word-of-mouth marketing (Ayinla
et al., 2024).
AI-powered personalization offers immense potential, it's crucial to prioritize responsible data
practices and transparency. Consumers must feel comfortable with how their data is used.
Additionally, brands need to be transparent about the use of AI to avoid misleading consumers
(Ayorinde et al., 2024).The future of AI in marketing personalization holds exciting
possibilities. As AI models evolve and incorporate new data sources, brands can create hyper-
personalized experiences that further blur the lines between marketing and genuine customer
connection (Bi et al., 2024).
In conclusion, AI-powered marketing personalization represents a significant shift. By
leveraging consumer engagement theories and prioritizing ethical practices, brands can utilize
AI to forge deeper connections with consumers, driving engagement, loyalty, and ultimately,
long-term success in the digital marketing landscape (Bougrine et al., 2024).
AI and Personalized Marketing Strategies
In today's digital marketing landscape, standing out from the crowd is a constant battle.
Consumers are bombarded with generic messages, leading to banner blindness and fading brand
recall. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a revolutionary solution, personalized
marketing. By leveraging AI's analytical prowess, brands can tailor marketing messages and
content to individual customer preferences, purchase histories, and online behavior (Chen et al.,
2024).
This shift towards personalized marketing empowers brands to forge deeper connections with
consumers, fostering engagement, brand loyalty, and ultimately, a significant competitive edge.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data, Purchase history, demographics, and past
interactions provide valuable insights into customer preferences. browsing patterns, content
viewed, and time spent on specific pages offer clues about customer interests (Craig et al.,
2024).
Social media interactions, Likes, shares, and comments on social media platforms reveal
customer sentiment and brand affinity. AI algorithms can unearth hidden patterns and customer
segments. Imagine AI identifying a group of customers who frequently purchase running shoes
and have recently downloaded a fitness app. This insight allows brands to personalize marketing
messages, offering targeted discounts on running apparel or showcasing training tips relevant
to their fitness goals (Daudu et al., 2024).
International Journal of Management & Entrepreneurship Research, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2024
Babatunde, Odejide, Edunjobi, & Ogundipe, P.No. 936-949 Page 940
Traditional marketing might segment customers by demographics like age or location. AI,
however, can create much more nuanced segments based on a wider range of data points,
including purchase history, online behavior, and social media engagement. With these customer
segments in hand, AI empowers brands to personalize marketing messages accordingly. For
instance, an e-commerce store can send targeted emails to customers who have abandoned
shopping carts, offering them incentives to complete their purchase.
This level of personalization ensures that marketing messages are relevant and engaging,
increasing the likelihood of customer conversion. AI goes beyond static segmentation; it
facilitates real-time personalization. This means marketing messages can be dynamically
adjusted based on a customer's current interaction and behavior. Imagine a customer browsing
a travel website, looking at various destinations. AI can analyze this real-time behavior and
display personalized pop-up ads featuring special offers on hotels or flights for those specific
destinations.
Additionally, AI chat-bots on websites can personalize customer service interactions, providing
product recommendations or answering questions tailored to the customer's browsing history.
AI-powered personalization is revolutionizing the marketing landscape. Brands that leverage
AI's data analysis capabilities, segmentation, and real-time personalization tools can create
targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with individual customers. This fosters deeper
engagement, builds stronger brand loyalty, and ultimately drives business success. As AI
technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for personalized marketing are limitless. The
future of marketing lies in creating genuine connections with consumers, and AI provides the
tools to make that future a reality (Egieya et al., 2023).
Consumer Engagement with AI-Powered Personalization
In the digital marketing landscape, the fight for consumer attention is relentless. Generic
messages get lost in a sea of information, leading to banner blindness and fading brand recall
(Etukudoh et al., 2024). By harnessing AI's analytical muscle, brands can craft marketing that
speaks directly to individual preferences, purchase histories, and online behavior. This shift
empowers brands to forge deeper connections with consumers, fostering engagement, loyalty,
and a significant competitive edge (Jiang, J., & Wang, X., 2024).
Personalization is its ability to analyze vast amounts of customer data (Hassan et al., 2024).
Traditional marketing often relies on limited datasets, resulting in generic and ineffective
campaigns. AI algorithms, however, can delve into a multitude of sources, including, Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) data, Purchase history, demographics, and past interactions
reveal valuable insights into customer preferences.
Website behavior, browsing patterns, content viewed, and time spent on specific pages offer
clues about customer interests. Social media interactions, Likes, shares, and comments on social
media platforms reveal customer sentiment and brand affinity. By analyzing this data, AI
algorithms unearth hidden patterns and identify distinct customer segments. Imagine AI
pinpointing a group of customers who frequently buy running shoes and have recently
downloaded a fitness app (Hassija et al., 2024).
This insight allows brands to personalize marketing messages by offering targeted discounts on
running apparel or showcasing training tips relevant to their fitness goals. Segmentation and
Targeting, Tailored Messages for Distinct Audiences Once AI identifies customer segments
with shared characteristics, it facilitates segmentation and targeting. While traditional

marketing segments by demographics like age or location, AI creates much more nuanced
segments based on a wider range of data points, including purchase history, online behavior,
and social media engagement (Matcov, 2024). With these segments in hand, brands can
personalize marketing messages accordingly.
For instance, an e-commerce store can send targeted emails to customers who have abandoned
shopping carts, offering incentives to complete their purchase. Similarly, social media ads can
be tailored to specific segments, showcasing products or services that resonate with their unique
needs and interests. This level of personalization ensures marketing messages are relevant and
engaging, increasing the likelihood of customer conversion. AI goes beyond static
segmentation; it facilitates real-time personalization. Imagine a customer browsing a travel
website, looking at various destinations (Lai, 2024).
AI can analyze this real-time behavior and display personalized pop-up ads featuring special
offers on hotels or flights for those specific locations. Additionally, AI-powered chat-bots on
websites can personalize customer service interactions, providing product recommendations or
answering questions tailored to the customer's browsing history. This real-time element
significantly enhances the user experience. Customers no longer feel bombarded with generic
messages; instead, they encounter marketing that feels relevant and responsive to their
immediate needs and interests, fostering a deeper connection with the brand (Mayo et al., 2024).
AI-powered personalization offers immense potential, it's crucial to prioritize responsible data
practices and ensure transparency. Consumers must feel comfortable with how their data is used
to personalize their experiences. Additionally, brands need to be transparent about AI's role in
personalization and avoid misleading customers (McGurk and Reichenbach, 2024). The Future
of Marketing, a Personalized Journey. AI-powered personalization is revolutionizing the
marketing landscape.
Brands that leverage AI's data analysis capabilities, segmentation, and real-time personalization
tools can create targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with individual customers. This
fosters deeper engagement, builds stronger brand loyalty, and ultimately drives business
success. As AI technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for personalized marketing are
limitless (McLaughlin, 2024). The future of marketing lies in creating genuine connections with
consumers, and AI provides the tools to make that future a reality.
However, ethical considerations and responsible data practices will be paramount in ensuring
this future is positive for both consumers and brands. The digital marketing landscape is
saturated with generic messages, leading to consumer disinterest. AI-powered personalization
offers a revolutionary solution. By analyzing vast amounts of customer data (CRM, purchase
history, website behavior, social media interactions), AI uncovers hidden insights and identifies
distinct customer segments.
This granular segmentation allows for highly personalized messaging. E-commerce stores can
send targeted emails to recover abandoned carts, while social media ads can showcase products
based on individual needs and interests. AI goes beyond static segments, enabling real-time
personalization. Imagine browsing travel websites and receiving pop-up ads with special offers
on hotels or flights you've been looking at (Ochuba et al., 2024).The benefits are undeniable
increased relevance leads to higher engagement and conversion rates.
Customers feel valued and understood, fostering deeper brand connections and loyalty.
However, responsible data practices and transparency are crucial. Consumers must be

comfortable with how their data is used, and brands must avoid misleading tactics (Okafor et
al., 2024).The future of marketing is personalized. AI's analytical power, segmentation
capabilities, and real-time personalization tools empower brands to create targeted campaigns
that resonate deeply with individual customers. This fosters a more engaging and loyal customer
base, ultimately driving business success. As AI technology advances, the possibilities for
personalized marketing are limitless (Okoli et al., 2024).
Challenges and Considerations
Navigating these complexities is crucial for brands to reap the benefits of AI-powered
personalization while fostering trust and responsible data practices with their customers Many
AI algorithms are complex and opaque, making it difficult for consumers to understand how
their data is used to personalize their experiences. This lack of transparency can lead to feelings
of distrust and manipulation. It's essential for brands to be transparent about AI's role in
personalization (Okorie et al., 2024).
They should explain how data is collected and used, and provide mechanisms for consumers to
control their data and opt out of personalized marketing if desired. AI algorithms are only as
good as the data they are trained on. If the data sets used to train AI models contain biases, these
biases can be reflected in the personalized marketing experiences delivered to consumers. For
instance, an AI model trained on biased data might recommend certain products or services to
specific demographics more frequently, leading to unfair or discriminatory marketing practices
(Orieno et al., 2024).
Provide clear and easy-to-find options for consumers to opt-out of personalized marketing or
adjust their privacy settings. Regularly Audit AI Models, Periodically audit AI algorithms for
potential biases and take steps to mitigate any identified biases in the data sets. Clearly
communicate to consumers how AI personalizes their experiences, and provide explanations
for why they see certain recommendations or marketing messages (Osasona et al., 2024). AI-
powered personalization offers immense potential to enhance marketing effectiveness and build
deeper customer connections (Patel, 2024).
In the future, AI personalization will continue to evolve, and the responsibility lies with brands
to ensure it remains a force for good, fostering trust and creating a personalized marketing
landscape that benefits everyone involved. Incorporating additional details and insights, I-
powered personalization, while a powerful marketing tool, presents a complex landscape with
ethical considerations and challenges to navigate Responsible implementation is crucial for
brands to reap the benefits of personalization while fostering trust and upholding responsible
data practices (Reis et al., 2024).

leaving the service), and a significant competitive edge in the streaming market. Challenges and
Considerations, the Responsible Use of AI While AI plays a crucial role in Netflix's success,
there are challenges to consider. Algorithmic bias can lead to limited recommendations,
potentially restricting users from discovering content outside their comfort zones.
Additionally, ensuring data privacy and transparency in how user data is used is paramount.
Netflix's use of AI-powered personalization serves as a compelling case study. By leveraging
AI to understand individual preferences and curate content accordingly, Netflix has created a
dynamic and engaging user experience. This approach is likely to be adopted by other streaming
services and entertainment platforms as they strive to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving
landscape. As AI technology continues to develop, the future of entertainment promises an even
more personalized and immersive experience for users.

... Most studies examine how AI enhances engagement with service providers rather than how humans engage directly with AI. For example, AI assisting patient interactions in healthcare (Batra and Dave 2024), personalized AI solutions boosting customer brand investment (Hollebeek et al. 2024), or AI-driven data analysis and marketing personalization enhancing engagement (Babatunde et al. 2024). ...
... Firstly, while service research suggests different AI types should be used for customer engagement (Huang and Rust 2021;Schepers et al. 2022), there is a paucity of research on the actual AI and engagement interfaces (Hollebeek et al. 2024). By emphasizing the impact of human engagement with GenAI rather than using AI to facilitate engagement with brands/firms (e.g., Babatunde et al. 2024;Batra and Dave 2024) we also provide one of the first studies with empirical evidence of the impact of feeling AI (Huang and Rust 2024). This extends existing service research, which has focussed, hitherto, on customer responses to AI services (e.g., Belanche et al. 2021;El Halabi and Trendel 2024;Han, Deng and Fan 2023), ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in customer-facing settings are growing rapidly. The general shift toward robot- and AI-powered services prompts a reshaping of customer engagement, bringing machines into engagement conceptualizations. In this paper, we build on service research around engagement and AI, incorporating computer science, and socio-technical systems perspective to conceptualize human-machine engagement (HME), offering a typology and nomological network of antecedents and consequences. Through three empirical studies, we develop a typology of four distinct forms of HME (informative, experimenting, praising, apprehensive), which differ in valence and intensity, underpinned by both emotional (excitement) and cognitive (concern, advocacy) drivers. We offer empirical evidence which reveals how these HME forms lead to different cognitive and personality-related outcomes for other users (perceived value of HME, perceived risk, affinity with HME) and service providers (willingness to implement in services, perceived value of HME). We also reveal how outcomes for service providers vary with the presence and absence of competitor pressure. Our findings broaden the scope of engagement research to include non-human actors and suggest both strategic and tactical guidance to service providers currently using and/or seeking to use generative AI (GenAI) in services alongside an agenda to direct future studies on HME

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed digital marketing enhancing its effectiveness and raising new ethical and privacy concerns. This study investigates the ethical implications of AI-based digital marketing, particularly focusing on user privacy. In terms of methodology, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify relevant variables, followed by Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) using R within the framework of homogeneity analysis of variance using alternating least squares (HOMALS). The MCA analysis identified 3 multivariate groupings, and 21 individual variables extracted from 28 studies. The MCA identified a total of 4 clusters in the eigenvalues/variances analysis, and 5 clusters in the biplot analysis. The findings emphasize the need for a balanced approach that respects user privacy and ethical use of data when developing actions using AI-based digital marketing. However, no significant relationship is evident between the study of variables such as cross-device tracking or data-driven technologies and, the ethics of AI-based digital marketing, despite these being the most profitable actions in this environment. There is no evidence of developing personalized social media content or ads linked to privacy standards. However, a strong connection between behavioral analytics, smart content and metaverse is identified, highlighting the risks of this emerging technology in this research field, as it is not linked to privacy or ethics. Among the results, the strong proximity of real-time tracking, IoT, and surveillance variables underscores the critical need to ethically understand how user behavior in real-time is being monitored, as they do not offer a strong link to privacy or ethics. Additionally, this study provides 21 future research questions that address whether these practices are being ethically implemented, following standards like “privacy-by-default” or “privacy-by-design,” and complying with privacy laws in AI-based digital marketing. To ensure these practices align with ethical standards, it is essential to adopt frameworks prioritizing data dignity, which calls for treating user data as an extension of personal identity, requiring responsible and ethical handling throughout the data collection and processing lifecycle.

To explore a robust tool for advancing digital breeding practices through an artificial intelligence-driven phenotype prediction expert system, we undertook a thorough analysis of 11 non-linear regression models. Our investigation specifically emphasized the significance of Support Vector Regression (SVR) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) in predicting soybean branching. By using branching data (phenotype) of 1918 soybean accessions and 42 k SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) polymorphic data (genotype), this study systematically compared 11 non-linear regression AI models, including four deep learning models (DBN (deep belief network) regression, ANN (artificial neural network) regression, Autoencoders regression, and MLP (multilayer perceptron) regression) and seven machine learning models (e.g., SVR (support vector regression), XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) regression, Random Forest regression, LightGBM regression, GPs (Gaussian processes) regression, Decision Tree regression, and Polynomial regression). After being evaluated by four valuation metrics: R² (R-squared), MAE (Mean Absolute Error), MSE (Mean Squared Error), and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), it was found that the SVR, Polynomial Regression, DBN, and Autoencoder outperformed other models and could obtain a better prediction accuracy when they were used for phenotype prediction. In the assessment of deep learning approaches, we exemplified the SVR model, conducting analyses on feature importance and gene ontology (GO) enrichment to provide comprehensive support. After comprehensively comparing four feature importance algorithms, no notable distinction was observed in the feature importance ranking scores across the four algorithms, namely Variable Ranking, Permutation, SHAP, and Correlation Matrix, but the SHAP value could provide rich information on genes with negative contributions, and SHAP importance was chosen for feature selection. The results of this study offer valuable insights into AI-mediated plant breeding, addressing challenges faced by traditional breeding programs. The method developed has broad applicability in phenotype prediction, minor QTL (quantitative trait loci) mining, and plant smart-breeding systems, contributing significantly to the advancement of AI-based breeding practices and transitioning from experience-based to data-based breeding.

Today’s world requires new approaches to innovation that leverage continuous testing and pivoting. Speed and the ability to respond to exogenous shocks are becoming increasingly important in both theory and practice. Following the introduction of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, a wide range of industries have adopted agile approaches, which differ from other ways of managing innovation projects by promoting flexibility and the rapid development of new solutions. Despite the proliferation of agile approaches across industries, the literature lacks a systematic understanding of their underlying elements. Therefore, we conduct a systematic literature review using a text mining technique to longitudinally explore the evolutionary dynamics of the field. Analyzing the results through the dichotomous lens of contingency and configuration theories, we show that the agile literature can be systematized into two perspectives: agile-as-a-tool in the contingency perspective, and agile-as-a-culture in the configuration perspective. Our review reveals underexplored intersections in the field of innovation and provides interesting insights into these two perspectives. We also propose a research agenda to shed light on these emerging perspectives in the agile innovation and management literature.

Coiled tubing operations become ever more complex to meet the demands within the industry. A worldwide challenge is a smaller group of highly qualified field personnel to meet these expectations and without such can lead to a potential compromised service delivery. To alleviate this our focus is on the increased level of unit automation providing the unit operator with greater monitoring, feedback, technical advice and, if needed, intervention on the unit to prevent failures. The combined solution is derived from three main areas: automatically update the CT force limits, continuous monitoring of key parameters to provide operational advice, and if required to prevent a potential failure, automatically intervene with control of the appropriate injector functions. Core to the system has been taking a highly complex CT flow and force model and transferring it to run automatically with only minimal intervention from field operators or specialists. The paper will detail the multiple system capabilities and the associated historic service delivery issues that created the need for the automated system. For example, the injector control system utilizes five different limit measurements to auto stop the injector to prevent failure. This includes the ability to auto monitor downhole force measurements during logging operations, which liberates wireline personnel to attend to other tasks during CT deployment and recovery. System enhancements such as the ability to easily recalibrate force modeling by adjusting friction and surface loads will be detailed. The system has further enhanced the ability for field crews to track expected vs actual loads and take preventative action without the need for a field engineer to be present. The system is being utilized across the service provider's fleet of units. Statistics on reduction of incident rates will be presented. Many operating companies are fully engaged and supportive of the journey to operational automation/remote monitoring and service delivery improvements. The majority of the features covered above have never been presented in a technical paper. This paper would provide valuable industry insight into the current and future expectations of technology that will aid the operating companies’ goals.
