Our secret sauce lies in our expertise to optimize the performance of these models, ensuring they collaborate seamlessly to accomplish tasks in the most efficient and user-friendly manner possible. 

With Zeta, you can trust that we bring together the best AI technologies available, both in-house and from trusted sources, to create a unified solution that delivers exceptional results while prioritizing simplicity and ease of use. 

What data and content does Zeta’s AI utilize/reference when generating content? 

Zeta’s AI uses a combination of first-party data (e.g., aggregated campaign results, analytics reporting) and third-party data (e.g., ChatGPT outputs) depending on the task. For example, for analytics use cases, it uses first-party data whereas for creating image-based targeting (i.e., using an image of the object to be purchased to generate a corresponding audience who would buy it), it utilizes third-party data. To answer Data Cloud-based insights, it uses both first- and third-party.   

Is there a way to tell when/where AI was used in the platform and what content was generated by Zeta’s AI? 

We are adding iconography to our platform to make it clear which features are powered by AI. In addition, we are developing a feature where brands have the option to apply a ‘Co-Authored by AI’ label to external messaging/campaigns (e.g., emails, ads, etc.) that use AI.  

What type of content does Zeta’s generative AI create?  

Zeta currently only generates copy; we do not generate image- or video-based creative. Additionally, we do not process nor compare across client creative.  

How does Zeta handle copyright for the content it generates?  

For copy generation, Zeta follows the user prompt ownership model. Under this approach, when a user provides a prompt to generate content, the user then has the copyright claim over the end content because it was their prompt that generated it.  

Does Zeta have AI terms of service that guarantee that referenced source data/content are properly licensed?

Yes

What types of decisions does Zeta’s AI make on my behalf?  

At Zeta, our AI technology is designed to assist and guide you in making informed decisions. However, it’s important to note that Zeta’s AI does not make decisions on your behalf. Instead, it provides valuable insights, recommendations, and information that can help you make more informed choices. 

Think of Zeta’s AI as a knowledgebase advisor or trusted assistant. It analyzes data, identifies patterns, and generates insights based on its analysis. These insights are then presented to you, empowering you with a deeper understanding of your business, customers, and market dynamics.  

With this newfound knowledge, you are better equipped to make decisions that align with your business goals. Zeta's AI acts as a tool to support your decision-making process by providing you with relevant information, highlighting key trends, and suggesting potential courses of action. 

Ultimately, the responsibility for making decisions rests with you, the user. Zeta's AI is designed to augment your decision-making capabilities, helping you make more informed choices that can lead to improved business outcomes. 

Does Zeta’s AI suite include any tools that offer transparency and mitigate any potential bias? 

For audience targeting, Zeta is developing a tool that shows all our models and provides the ability to drill down into a specific model, look at the attributes, and remove specific attributes if desired.  

Does Zeta share client data with OpenAI or the Open Web?

No
