AB Testing vs. Multi-Armed Bandits: What You Need to Know


Listen Later

Imagine a world where your AB tests run themselves—faster, smarter, and more dynamic than a simple 50/50 split that takes weeks to measure. 

Today’s episode breaks down how multi-armed bandit algorithms could change when and where you use AB testing. But don’t be fooled—there are no free lunches and no cure-alls.. We’ll show you why understanding your use case, keeping the stakes low, and having human oversight are the keys to getting the most out of these powerful algorithms.

In this Episode:

  • The potential of multi-armed bandit algorithms to supplant traditional AB testing
  • Critically assessing the limitations and complexities involved in applying bandit algorithms to real-world data and marketing contexts.
  • The role of these algorithms in personalizing customer interactions and automating low-risk experiments.
