SWR Data to Publish 'AI and Adult Industry' Report

LOS ANGELES — Adult industry market research firm SWR Data is publishing a report on artificial intelligence on July 30.

The report, titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Adult Market," seeks to "equip platforms with strategic data-driven insights to attract top creators and engage fans, empowering businesses to build successful, sustainable models in the burgeoning AI landscape," said a rep. 

The report will examine market size and engagement, revenue and monetization strategies, and consumer behavior and trends, among other issues.

"The adult industry is at the forefront of experimentation and adoption, but until now, there’s been little real data to understand what the market really wants and where it is going," said SWR co-founder Mike Stabile of Polari Media. "SWR’s 'AI Report' will provide the first real insight into the future of the AI market, generated from in-depth surveys and interviews with hundreds of adult creators and consumers."

Co-founder MelRose Michaels of SexWorkCEO added, "Platforms are building products for creators without understanding what creators or even fans actually want. SWR is working with a large slate of active, engaged creators and consumers who provide us with real-time data on what they need and what motivates them. As a creator, I want to help platforms attract the right creators so that we can all thrive in this new sector."

Preorders for the report open June 15; to register, visit SWRData.
