Omnicom Media Trials, part of Omnicom Media, and brand-suitability firm Zefr published a study analyzing how ads perform when placed next to different types of AI-generated content in the U.S. and Canada. The report finds AI content is not uniformly risky: creative or humorous AI environments can lift ad recall and perceptions of innovation, while spam-like or misleading AI content hurts brand favorability, trust and purchase intent. It also notes widespread consumer confusion over what is real versus AI-generated and says clear labeling and transparency can improve brand outcomes, with Canadian consumers showing higher sensitivity to AI adjacency than Americans.
