Supply‑Side Programmatic / Containerized AI Decisioning Market: Containerization Brings Sell‑Side AI to SSPs
AdExchanger’s Content Studio reports from Cannes Lions 2026 on how containerization is moving custom AI decisioning from demand‑side DSPs into supply‑side environments (SSPs). In a filmed interview, AdExchanger Editorial Director Sarah Sluis spoke with Pirouz Nilforoush (President & Co‑Founder, inPowered AI) and Mike Sadicario (Enterprise Media Partnerships, Equativ) about a technology that has existed roughly 12–16 months. By running containerized decision models inside SSPs, sellers can evaluate and respond to every available impression in real time—potentially shifting where value and performance optimization live across the programmatic supply chain. The piece frames sell‑side decisioning as a structural change that could alter how performance is won or lost between publishers, SSPs and buyers.
Containerizing AI decisioning inside SSPs enables real‑time sell‑side evaluation of every impression, a structural change that could shift value and optimization responsibilities across publishers, SSPs and DSPs—important for programmatic workflows but still early-stage.
