In this episode of the podcast, I argue that the total automation of digital advertising through AI enablement presents a radically economically expansive opportunity that, while certainly disruptive for certain segments of the digital advertising ecosystem, will ultimately confer significant benefits on consumers, advertisers, and advertising platforms alike.

I term the complete, end-to-end automation of digital advertising Commerce at the limit: it represents not just the utmost optimization of advertisers' campaigns, but also the introduction of every business that could potentially derive value from it to the digital advertising economy. Commerce at the limit captures the maximum theoretical scale of advertising's impact of the economy: the AI-empowered apogee of digital commerce.
