As predicted in our blog post , the 2024 NAB show focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and their impact on the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry. 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.

AI-based content management, security, and distribution systems ensure production assets are safe throughout the entire product chain; in-house AI development hardware reduces development and production costs; AI chips in consumer TV sets control screen pixels to eliminate glare and enhance image quality and enhance advertising and marketing tools to connected TVs are now coming to market. There can be no doubt that AI will, in some way, become part of every aspect of M&E for generations to come. Here to Stay Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming integral to the mindset of the media and entertainment industry. From AI-assisted scriptwriting and intelligent video editing tools to automated localization services and personalized content recommendations, the technology empowers companies to unleash their creative potential, streamline workflows, and connect with audiences on a deeper level.

The platform scans film, TV, or advertising content quickly and affordably, making it the ideal solution for verifying the suitability of any video content for any global market. “Today, content providers and streaming platforms must navigate complex regulations and cultural norms to operate successfully in different markets,” said Teresa Phillips, Co-founder and CEO of Spherex. “By seamlessly integrating sophisticated AI with cultural and regulatory insights, Spherex helps content creators, studios, distributors, and platforms unlock new markets, broaden their audiences, and increase revenue.” At the heart of Spherex AI ’s™ innovation is its proprietary AI technology, based on a decade of meticulous research and analysis of laws, regulations, and film/TV classifications in over 100 countries, as well as the screening of millions of film and TV clips for training and validation.
