Ethical AI-Powered Marketing Charter
In the rapidly evolving landscape of marketing, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. However, as we harness the power of AI, it is imperative to establish a framework that ensures ethical practices, protects consumer rights, and promotes responsible use. This Ethical Charter for AI-Powered Marketing is designed to guide organizations in leveraging AI technologies while upholding core values of trust, transparency, and integrity.
The Ethical AI-Powered Marketing Charter aligns with relevant European legal requirements, particularly with the applicable data protection and privacy legislation where the use of AI involves personal data. By adhering to these principles, in conjunction with their application, we aim to transform marketing into a force for good, fostering meaningful connections and driving positive societal impact.
