The event showcased the transformative potential of AI across various aspects of content creation, production, and distribution. Focus on Content Over 130 companies exhibited AI products and services, while 80 panels and workshops explored AI's role in the M&E sector. These sessions demonstrated how AI revolutionizes workflows, enhances creativity, and enables stunning visual effects and ultra-high-resolution graphics. Attendees gained valuable insights into integrating AI across the entire content pipeline, from scriptwriting and video editing to post-production and distribution. AI in Multilingual Content Production Another key focus was the role of AI in facilitating multilingual content production on a global scale. Workshops and panels explored how AI is automating and refining transcription, translation, and re-voicing processes, ensuring accurate and localized content delivery to diverse audiences worldwide. Experts also shared their experiences and best practices in leveraging AI for content creation and programming, discussing the balance between harnessing AI's potential and maintaining human oversight to address ethical concerns.
