OpenAI has premiered its first-ever TV commercial during the Super Bowl, partnering with Accenture Song to introduce AI’s transformative capabilities to a mainstream audience. This milestone marks a significant step in bringing artificial intelligence into everyday conversations.
As society enters the Intelligence Age, OpenAI remains dedicated to ensuring artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Its products, including ChatGPT, empower millions to streamline tasks, boost productivity, and solve complex challenges. The Super Bowl ad serves as an open invitation for individuals from all walks of life to explore AI’s impact on both personal and professional levels.
While AI contributed to the ad’s creative journey, human expertise was central to its execution. Accenture Song collaborated with OpenAI’s Sora team during pre-visualization, using AI as an experimental tool for rapid ideation. However, the final production was crafted through a blend of 2D hand animation and 3D procedural rendering (Houdini), showcasing human creativity at its core.
Accenture Song aimed for clarity in its creative approach, cutting through the noise to deliver OpenAI’s vision for the Intelligence Age in a visually compelling and straightforward manner. The ad, titled The Intelligence Age, employs a pointillism-inspired animation style, reflecting OpenAI’s brand identity and the ChatGPT interface. A single data point—referred to as ‘The Point’—transforms throughout the ad, symbolizing key moments of human progress leading to AI’s evolution.
Beyond its visual representation, ‘The Point’ is a foundational element of OpenAI’s identity, shaping its typeface, iconography, and design language. Integrated within the ChatGPT interface, it serves as a familiar visual marker for users. In the ad, ‘The Point’ reinforces the idea that AI, like all human advancements, is driven by curiosity, research, and discovery.
Through The Intelligence Age, OpenAI seeks to spark curiosity and inspire individuals to explore AI’s possibilities. This Super Bowl ad is more than just a commercial—it’s an invitation to be part of a defining moment in technological history.
