The campaign aims to highlight the company's AI-driven customer service and sales software, which it markets as "AI Employees" or "Artisans." The billboards feature provocative messages, such as "Artisans won't complain about work-life balance," which have sparked negative reactions online, with many users expressing concerns about the implications of AI on the job market. Artisan's CEO, Jaspar Carmichael-Jack, defended the campaign, stating that it reflects the changing nature of work and is designed to attract attention.
