Recap From IBC: Building the AI-Ready Media Enterprise
So This Happened: What Actually Matters in Creative Content, Commerce & TechnologyShow Notes
This week on So This Happened, Jess and Nathalie step away from the usual news roundup to unpack the AI-ready media enterprise panel Nathalie chaired on the Future Tech state at IBC in Amsterdam. Panelists Sean King (Veritone), Marcus Edel (Collaboro) and Rory McVicar (Hydrolix) explain what media organisations still need to build underneath AI to move it from pilot to production, including data infrastructure, open source versus proprietary models, tokenomics, organisational readiness and trust. Jess and Nathalie share their own take on what it means for media companies actually trying to deploy this.
