Research Takeaway #2: Is the "Created by AI" Label Guilty?

Un pitch d'expert pour poser le sujet, puis un échange ouvert pour questionner, confronter les expériences et faire circuler les points de vue. Le tout dans un format convivial.

Advertising, Transparency and Trust: The Consumer Verdict

A prompt in a few seconds. An AI-generated image. A campaign ready to run.

Generative artificial intelligence has made a sensational entry into marketing departments and creative advertising. But what actually happens when a brand reveals that its ad was created by AI? Does this transparency build consumer trust or, on the contrary, trigger skepticism? How does this label affect purchasing intent?

For this second edition of Research Takeaway, ICN Business School’s event that puts research at the heart of professional discussion, we are putting the “Created by AI” label on trial!

45 minutes to get straight to the point:

  • An expert pitch to set the stage and share recent scientific findings.
  • An open and interactive debate to challenge your practices and exchange real-world experience.
  • The final verdict: you, the audience and professionals in attendance, will deliver the judgment.

No abstract theory. Just field-tested research, constructive debate, and actionable insights to immediately apply to your marketing and communication strategies.
