What is AI UGC?
AI UGC (Artificial Intelligence User-Generated Content) refers to content that mimics the style, format and authenticity of traditional user-generated content but is created with the assistance of AI tools.
Until recently, using AI to create videos was not the preferred choice for most businesses, because artificial intelligence had not yet reached a level of development sufficient to accurately simulate the behavior and appearance of a real user.
In 2026, a new paradigm comes into effect. Artificial intelligence has finally reached a stage where it is no longer possible to distinguish between UGC created by a real person and AI-generated UGC. This is why the most successful companies, e-commerce brands, and dropshipping businesses have already launched AI UGC ads into production and they are already delivering results.
