Analysis
Hakuhodo DY Holdings is launching 'Ads for Humanity' to build a human-verified ad network for the AI-agent era. The practical question: as more web traffic is run by AI agents, how much of an advertiser's spend is actually seen by people? The new firm aims to advertise to humans and not burn budget on bots. AI is both a new ad gateway and a new source of fraud and invalid impressions—Japan's largest ad group staking a claim early is worth noting.
