CANNES, France—NBCUniversal is about to go live with a new advertising product that uses machine learning to sort through episodes of its content library and pair that programming with relevant advertising.

The network is expanding its ad offerings, including shoppable ads, which it rolled out during the French Open at the end of last month.
