Disney unveils AI-powered ad tool for tailored streaming commercials


"Disney's Magic Words" is an AI-driven advertising tool by Disney that personalizes ads to match the mood of scenes on Disney+ and Hulu.

By identifying and tagging scenes with metadata that includes information on content, brands, imagery, and mood, “Disney’s Magic Words” allows for a more precise form of contextual advertising.
