# TikTok May Introduce AI Avatars for Advertisements

TikTok Considers AI Avatars for Advertisements

TikTok is exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) avatars to support advertising efforts within its platform.

Currently in the testing phase, the initiative has not been fully implemented as the technology is still undergoing evaluation. The response to AI avatars has so far underscored the effectiveness of real influencers in engaging with the audience.
