Video: IBC Tech Talks – AI in Production

Posted on 31st October 2018 by Russell Trafford-Jones

However it’s applied in our industry, AI is here to stay. In the area of production, it is set to revolutionise working practice, by dispensing with many formulaic and repetitive tasks and making more effective use of human creative skills. Nowhere is this more significant than in live broadcasting where the economic advantages of AI can allow the coverage of events that would not otherwise be cost-effective. In these Tech Talks, three industry experts will describe and demonstrate the latest ideas and technologies in AI-assisted production, including one who will address the storytelling benefits for live football. Another international broadcaster will introduce the concept of smart production, where hardly anything is left to the human – even the script is generated automatically by mining information from sources such as social media.

A thought-provoking glimpse of how AI researchers see the future of production.
