Will Marketers Have To Pay For Focus Groups?

December 6, 2024 By: FMI Staff

With advancements in AI replicas, marketers can develop synthetic personas that eliminate the need for human participants in focus groups or A/B testing.

A Stanford University and Google study trained AI models to create virtual replicas of participants using just two hours of interview footage.

🧠 These simulation agents were proven to be 85% accurate when it came to mimicking human behaviour, decision-making, and preferences.

Marketers can use this technology to test campaigns, products, and designs in hours instead of weeks, gaining precise insights while cutting costs.

💭 However, this shift raises questions about authenticity and ethical boundaries, can AI truly replicate the complexity of human emotions?
