Abstract
The convergence of language, technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally reshaped the marketing discipline, moving it from a broadcast model to one of algorithmic conversation. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review exploring how AI technologies-specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP), Generative AI, and Conversational Interfaces-are altering the relationship between brands and consumers. By synthesizing insights from 130 seminal and contemporary texts, the review identifies three primary shifts: the transformation of unstructured language data into predictive consumer insights, the automation of creative content production through Large Language Models (LLMs), and the rise of anthropomorphic interfaces that simulate human empathy. The analysis highlights a critical tension in the literature between the efficiency of automation and the necessity of authenticity. While AI offers unprecedented scale in personalization, it introduces significant ethical risks regarding privacy, bias, and the “uncanny valley” of synthetic interaction. The paper concludes that the future of marketing lies in a hybrid “Human-in-the-Loop” framework, where technology provides the linguistic velocity, but human oversight ensures ethical resonance and strategic alignment.
