Auto-Target vs. Automated Personalization

[justinl40680371]

I am finding it difficult to grasp the difference between Auto-Target and Automated Personalization. Am I wrong to understand that the only difference between the two is Auto-Target uses not just your information to target a user but also previous users with similar profiles whereas Automated Personalization is the building of the profile of the individual and the audience?

My confusion stems from the fact that both seem to be AI driven targeting based on a profile of what you like and creating the personalized experience from that.

Thanks in advance,

Justin Li
