ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / COGNITIVE PLATFORMS / DATA ANALYTICS
Artificial Intelligence has come to stay and revolutionize markets. In the specific case of content production, it has already changed the form of work, performing repetitive and routine activities with high performance. The use of human creativity is potentialized in the events that require this kind of knowledge. In this way, coverage of events that are not very profitable can be fully operationalized by an IA system. In this panel, we will count on experts who will share their knowledge about new technologies and news from the national and international markets in the production of sports, journalism and mass events with little or no human action, using social and data media as a source of information of final consumers.

Digital migration: assistance or technology?
The use of technology to solve problems is assistance. Scanning deals less on the internet or computers and more on ASSISTANCE, being computers and internet only what makes this assistance feasible. What is important is technology assisting people in different ways. Talk is about specific technologies for building TV, cloud and mobile applications giving the SET audience a snapshot of what is happening in people's lives (us) and how that changes our expectations as consumers.

How artificial intelligence and live football will come together to create better storytelling
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already demonstrated that it will have a transformational impact across many industries. Live sports production is no different. It’s an area which strives for operational efficiencies to deliver more content to an increasingly diverse and connected audience.
Using football as an example, join EVS’ James Stellpflug as he explains how the fast and efficient nature of the machine-learning technology shows it can be used to deliver smarter workflows that allow content producers to more easily output the most engaging content – the ultimate goal being to deliver a better overall live football experience for viewers.
This paper will present a vision of how AI will support the development of live production technology in the coming years. It will teach visitors that with the right machine-learning neural networks in place, AI can be used as a built-in production assistant to perform multiple tasks with the speed and reliability that’s needed within live productions –without having to deploy additional resources.
Whether it’s used to easily add augmented visuals to programming, to automate the improvement of replays or to guide self-directing programs from cameras, AI is a key technology that will be fundamental in delivering better content, faster. Within this presentation, we will further explore the potential future applications for intelligent workflows and present existing use cases that will deliver enhanced storytelling with live football.
