X has introduced "Trend Genius" ads, an AI-powered tool that helps advertisers leverage trending discussions. This product detects rising topics and aligns ad placements with relevant brand mentions. Advertisers can select specific conversation topics, such as the Olympics, fashion, or music. When these topics peak in discussion, preprogrammed ads are automatically deployed. Conversely, when the conversation stabilizes, the ads are turned off to maximize relevance and minimize waste.
