Short answer

AI brand safety is the practice of protecting a brand from risks specific to the AI era. These include ads appearing beside low-quality AI-generated content, the brand being misrepresented in AI answers, and inaccurate or off-brand auto-generated ads. It extends traditional brand safety with monitoring of AI outputs and human review of generative creative.
