Some Super Bowl ads celebrate the benefits of artificial intelligence, but at least one poke fun at the concept.  One Super Bowl commercial promotes Guided Frame on pixel 8 phones, a feature that makes it easier for people with blindness or low vision to take photos. Video screenshot by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper/CNET Artificial intelligence continues to make headlines, from the FCC banning AI-faked voices in robocalls, to Paul McCartney using AI to create the final Beatles song. AI has a presence in Sunday's Super Bowl as well. It's showing up in some of the famed commercials airing during the Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers game.  Some ads highlight how AI helps their products, others use AI to actually make their ads, and at least one is pokes fun at AI. Here's a look at the AI-related ads. And check out our roundup of all the Super Bowl ads you can watch now. Microsoft Copilot: 'Watch Me'



CrowdStrike | The Future

Microsoft's "Watch Me" commercial promotes Microsoft Copilot, the company's AI assistant found in Windows 11, and plays off the idea that AI will replace artists and creatives. In this ad, people call on AI to help them complete their movie, video game or study for a chemistry test.

Google's Pixel 8: 'Javier in Frame'
We live in a selfie- and camera phone-focused age, but you may never have thought about how those with impaired vision are able to take photos. Google features an accessibility feature called Guided Frame for its Pixel 8 smartphone, using Google AI to alert them about when and how many faces are in the frame. Blind director Adam Morse -- with an ending voiceover by blind singer-songwriter and musician Stevie Wonder -- explains the feature in his Super Bowl ad  CrowdStrike : 'The Future'Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike travels back to the Old West in an ad showcasing how it uses AI for security. When creepy Star Wars-looking robots try to attack the town, one lone woman armed with CrowdStrike's AI-powered cybersecurity shuts They down fast. 

Etsy: 'Gift Mode'
Ah, it's always a good time to poke (gentle) fun at the French. In Etsy's Super Bowl ad, Americans about to receive the Statue of Liberty use Etsy's AI-powered Gift Mode to decide what to give back to their French friends. Spoiler: It's cheese.

Avocados from Mexico: 'Guac-AI-Mole' site
Avocados from Mexico has some of the funnier Super Bowl ads of past years. (In 2015, a college football draft spoof showed Australia drafting the kangaroo, the US going for wheat, and Mexico , of course, avocados.) The company won't have a Super Bowl ad this year, but its website is hyping "Guac-AI-mole," where AI generates guacamole recipes based on information submitted by users.

Body Armor: 'Field of Fake'
There's also at least one ad that uses AI sheerly to poke fun at the concept. If you've watched enough AI-assisted videos, you know that some can be unnervingly bad, with creepy voiceovers, and obviously fake creatures and humans. The Coca-Cola-owned sports drink BodyArmor tackles that aspect of AI, spouting random AI-sounding lines such as "Teammate Trust Tackle Ball" and showing a football player dunking a basketball on the gridiron. The commercial then sneers, "Artificial? No!" and proclaims that "nothing in sports should be artificial" before plugging the "real sweeteners, real flavors" of its drinks.
