  1. Machine Learning and Cognitive Intelligence

In the context of human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence has the potential to perform cognitive functions such as perceiving, reasoning, learning, interacting, problem-solving, decision-making and demonstrating creativity [22] and Machine Learning models has the potential to simulate human being’s cognitive abilities, and also interprets in applied linguistics that impacts the keyword search in the digital platform [23]. Machine Learning protocols are utilized in cognitive analytics with inputs and outputs based on Algorithms, which is highly focusing about Prediction [24]. While the benefits of adopting cognitive virtue in digital marketing are evident, there are challenges that businesses must overcome to fully leverage AI's power. One such challenge is the availability and quality of data. AI algorithms require large volumes of accurate and relevant data to make accurate predictions and recommendations. However, many businesses struggle with data silos, inconsistent data formats, and data quality issues. Overcoming these challenges requires a robust data management strategy and the implementation of data governance practices. Another challenge is the complexity of AI implementation. AI technologies can be complex and require specialized knowledge and skills to implement effectively. Many businesses may not have the necessary expertise in-house and may need to invest in training or external resources. Additionally, integrating AI into existing marketing systems and workflows can be challenging, requiring careful planning and coordination. Its application supports in understanding in language such as converting from audio, visual, speech, text and other sources of information and computes the conversion [25] as well as the integration of deep learning with machine learning that results in the effective process of data analysis [26]. It acts in facilitating Speech Emotion Recognition (SER), Speech Emotion Verification for a quality service for the users [27].

 

  1. Neural Network in Cognitive Process

Artificial neural networks is an architecture designed in such a way as the human brain that enables to perform tasks as well as to group the information in different patterns [28]. Neural network technologies have the tendency to study the user perception in social media platform on a situation with reference to the verbal data that leads to the conclusion and decision-making [29]. Artificial neural networks perform tasks such as speech recognition, and image analysis and simultaneously the updated trends of artificial neural networks are implemented in the area of artificial intelligence [30]. Emotional analysis is one of the differences between human beings and current intelligent machines. However, the discipline of emotion, psychology, cognitive science, and physiological and psychological processes, can be interpreted through artificial intelligence with the support of neural network algorithm. Neural network process supports cognitive functions that includes analytic thinking i.e., calculation, statistics, analysis, reasoning, abstraction, conceptual thinking etc., and its framework is designed to influence the way  to solve cognitive problems as how humans interpret [31].

As AI continues to advance, ethical considerations become increasingly important in the realm of digital marketing [32]. The use of AI raises concerns about privacy, data security, and transparency. Marketers need to ensure that they are using customer data responsibly and in compliance with applicable regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Transparency is also crucial, as customers should be informed about the use of AI and how their data is being utilized [33]. Ethical considerations also extend to the potential biases and discrimination that can be present in AI algorithms. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if the data includes biases, the algorithms may perpetuate and amplify those biases [34]. Marketers need to be vigilant in identifying and mitigating biases in AI models, ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all customers. The future of cognitive virtue in digital marketing is promising, with several trends and advancements on the horizon. One such trend is the integration of AI with voice assistants and smart devices [35]. As voice search continues to rise in popularity, marketers will need to optimize their content for voice-based queries. AI-powered voice assistants can analyze user intent and provide personalized responses, opening up new opportunities for brands to engage with their audience. Another trend is the use of AI in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences. AI algorithms can analyze user behavior and preferences in real-time, enhancing the immersive experience and personalizing the content displayed [36]. This allows marketers to create highly engaging and interactive campaigns that captivate their target audience. To fully leverage the power of artificial intelligence in digital marketing, businesses can utilize a range of resources and tools. There are several AI platforms and software solutions available that enable marketers to easily implement

 

AI algorithms and analyze data [37]. These platforms often provide pre-trained models, data integration capabilities, and visualization tools to simplify the AI implementation process. Additionally, there are numerous online courses and educational resources available to help marketers learn about AI and its applications in digital marketing. These resources provide valuable insights into AI technologies, best practices, and case studies, enabling marketers to stay informed and make informed decisions [38-40]. Digital Marketing supports both the push and pull strategy in promotional activities for example, retail sector where online promotion are adopting push strategy and customer adoption to the service is referred to pull strategy [41].
