Businesses in Myanmar are confronted with two scenarios when it comes to adopting generative AI for marketing: difficulty in measuring sales due to heavy reliance on Facebook as a platform for doing business; and marketing budget constraints due to smaller budget allocation compared to other developed countries.

This includes using both generative AI, the currently trending technology that mimics human creativity, and the traditional AI.
