AI: Transforming media production

AI and ML are top of most 2018 trend lists, with the technologies being adopted by many different industries. Indeed, experts forecast these technologies will be incorporated as part of the standard toolkit for broadcasters to transform the process of creating and managing content. BBC Research and Development Senior R&D Engineer Stephen Jolly said the demand for automated intelligence is coming from everywhere. He defined AI as the use of computers to automate tasks that would otherwise have to be completed by humans. ML is a technique under the AI umbrella and notably in the spotlight for its ability to optimise and enhance processes.
