Artificial intelligence promises to change the way media content is produced, distributed and consumed. It even alters the nature of media itself. None of us, inside or outside of the media industry, is fully ready for what AI is about to bring about. So, to chart the course of this AI-driven future, this high-level, full-day event with top AI experts and media executives, will discuss the state, media use cases, and ethics of synthetic media for the news and entertainment industries.
