EditShare – Will AI really transform the media industry?
Unless you are a hermit, you cannot fail to have noticed all the talk about AI at the moment. It is everywhere.
If you believe the hype, then we are all doomed. The machines are ready to take over, and there will be no need for any human to do any work ever again. We are all rather more cynical than that, and we know deep down that we can probably hang on to our jobs at least for a while.
For a long time now, we have known one fundamental thing about computers. They are good at dull, repetitive tasks, while people are good at creative tasks. And, despite the reports in the popular press, AI largely conforms to that rule.
Densitron – Outsourcing can help companies refocus and build business agility
In an uncertain world, it pays for broadcast vendors to refocus their activities on what really makes them distinctive. And one way in which they can do that is to outsource some of their design, manufacturing and integration needs to a dedicated ODM provider, says Densitron’s SVP Product, Peter Semerak.
Consult Red – Aggregate more
We believe there’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity for telco and pay TV providers to diversify their retail offer, by moving beyond quad-play to ‘omni-play’ and beyond super-aggregation of video content, to the aggregation of our increasingly smart lives.
By ‘aggregating more’ operators will be able to increase customer loyalty and raise ARPU, from services as diverse as multiplayer live gaming and home security, to smart domestic energy management.

Blu Digital – Fere nihil sine deo – thoughts on AI, localization and humanity
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
What a glorious decade for global media distribution. Content consumption is higher than it’s ever been, borders have been stretched, pushed or removed entirely, “foreign” content is captivating “foreign” audiences and the inaccessible is finally becoming accessible to all.
Agile Content – How encouraging user engagement can help OTT companies decrease their ecological footprint
As we approach the end of the summer, marked as the warmest ever recorded, it’s clear that focusing on the environment and sustainability is crucial for all organizations and businesses. The TV and media industry has a dual responsibility.

Accedo – AI’s role in the OTT industry’s pursuit for sustainability
Technology is set to play a crucial role in the fight against climate change by helping us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and promote sustainable practices. Is there potential for AI to also play a part in this? Google DeepMind certainly thinks so and is using the latest AI developments to help fight climate change and build a more sustainable, low-carbon world. But although AI has received a lot of attention since the launch of the large language model, ChatGPT, last year, AI and machine learning (ML) are not new concepts. Content creators, technology vendors, and service providers in the video industry have been using ML for some time. The difference now is that generative AI models have become more advanced, and are now being used by a wider audience. If organizations like Google DeepMind aim to use generative AI to fight climate change, can the video industry also use generative AI to optimize systems, create more sustainable consumption habits, and reduce the industry’s carbon impact?
