Netflix is introducing a new advertising system using generative AI to improve ad relevance for viewers, potentially leading to interactive midroll and pause overlays.
The AI ads will not be available for ad-free users but will be automatically introduced for ad-supported Netflix.
Netflix aims to merge generative AI created ads with its shows for interactive viewer experiences, making the ads more difficult to ignore or spot.
The new AI ads are expected to be rolled out to all ad-supported countries by 2026, affecting the least expensive Netflix plans.
