New XR press release added to newsroom: '88% of US advertisers now use AI in creative production, led by VFX, motion graphics creation and script writing' (dated 09 Sep 2026).
AI and Streaming Transform Advertising Landscape
The AdExchanger daily roundup highlights how AI hardware, social platforms, and streaming rights are shaping advertising. OpenAI acquired io Products in May, signaling an AI hardware push, while Bloomberg seeks “superfans” to test Pixel products pre-release. Apple reportedly works on a foldable iPhone, now expected no sooner than 2027. Meta is pursuing AI-integrated smart glasses via a Ray-Ban deal. The US TikTok restructure will be operated by ByteDance with a joint venture majority-owned by American investors to control data and retrain the algorithm, with US ad revenue comprising roughly half of TikTok’s 2024 global revenue. The piece also notes competition from new AI video platforms like Sora and Vibes and discusses streaming complexities: NBA’s rights finder, Peacock-YouTube TV carriage disputes, MLS on Apple TV with free viewing but smaller audiences, and Disney’s subscriber declines after a Kimmel incident, plus Penske Media’s suit against Google over AI Overviews.
