Machines now make independent business decisions; marketers must adapt entirely

Maitland argues that automated systems have crossed a threshold where they make independent business decisions without human intervention, fundamentally dismantling traditional marketing's command-and-control model. Marketers must abandon audience-centric strategies and instead design for machine-to-machine negotiation, where algorithms interact directly with other algorithms to execute transactions and determine value.
