How does your company organize information? Richard chats with Emily Mancini about the metadata in SharePoint. Emily points out that if you're using Teams, you're using SharePoint - it's all under the hood. And that means any files are being tagged with metadata whether you do it intentionally or not. Taking control of your metadata can mean more effective searches and managing surprises with tools like M365 Copilot. Metadata can help you protect sensitive data and make existing data visible to the people needing it. Spending a few hours with it can make a huge difference!

Nobody would argue that banks have an incentive, a competitive motivation, to protect their data. However, would a private AI solution do the job? If so, how could it be implemented by banks while ensuring the data involved remains secure and confidential? Guy Mettrick, Industry Vice President of Financial Services for Appian explains the options to Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence. 

AI needs no introduction. The implications of AI in the broadcast industry have been known and seen for a long time but perhaps never quite so prevalent as this year with the Writers Guild of America striking. On the flip side, there is huge excitement about the potential of AI and ML in enabling churn prediction, metadata enrichment, personalisation strategies, and more. In this episode, our hosts Simon McGrath and Alex Borland are joined by Dr Paul Stallard, Merapar Principal Architect and head of Internal AI practice, and Klaus Seiler, Merapar Technology Principal and Co-Founder,. They discuss the potential that AI has for broadcasters worldwide.

One of the most important stakeholders in e-commerce is the photo studio management team. They put so much time and attention into producing every single image for display on websites, mobile apps and other purchasing platforms.

To better understand this team's evolving needs, as well as how they should be using digital asset management systems in their workflows, Sam and Maribel from Cloudinary interviewed Daniel Jester – Chief Evangelist for Creative Force. His extensive studio experience at companies like Nordstrom and Amazon, as well as his time mentoring Creative Force’s customers on best practices, brings a wealth of knowledge to this conversation.

SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS PROACTIVELY

In this episode, Nick and Jason discuss the challenges of managing aging infrastructure. They explain that abandoned or orphaned infrastructure can linger in an environment for a long time and often requires a proactive approach to detect and address the issue. They recommend considering the age of the infrastructure and proactively managing it to avoid having resources that are no longer in use.

WORDS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR DAY

NICK: INVENTORY IS THE FIRST THING TO DO

“Know what you have, inventory it, understand it, groom it, maybe that's a tool, maybe that's a project, maybe it's bringing in a third party to help you out. We've seen all of those examples, and then once you understand it, and you are now deciding to proactively manage it, you will now want to divide up your resources out there and understand kind of where they fit,”

Summary

Just about a year ago, Mark Milstein of vAIsual joined Daniel to discuss what he referred to as the future of image creation. He described the synthographer, some might now call a prompt engineer. An individual who inputs the correct set of instructions to an AI tool that produces photorealistic images. Flash forward to the second half of 2022, when these tools made a huge splash in creative and marketing circles as they were released to the public, sparking tons of conversations about the future of content creation as well as the legality and ethics of it all.

Mark joins Daniel again today for this episode to give an update on the legal side of the AI conversation, make some predictions on commercial use of AI tools, and share with us forthcoming tool that could accelerate an already quick moving technology

Key Takeaways

• Mark was on this podcast in a previous episode and described a process where a user would enter keywords and an AI based tool would generate photorealistic images. In the second half of 2022, generative AI tools like Dall-e and midjourney burst onto the scene and got creative and marketing professionals everywhere buzzing
• There are still many ethical and legal concerns that need to be cleared up before we can see true adoption of these tools at the enterprise level. Currently there are some lawsuits on the horizon that will clarify and cement some of these things. Between the the recording of this episode and it's release, new lawsuits have been filed that should answer some of these lingering questions around the legality of data sets used to train.
• It's possible that some larger organizations with huge image libraries will be able to train their own licensed and un-trained version of one of these tools, overcoming that legality issue around copyright ownership.
• Sinfusion is a new training algorithm that will allow these tools to create imagery that is very realistic using much smaller data sets then past tools. Mark calls this earth shattering.
• Regarding Daniel's prediction that a brand may generate a campaign this year using AI, Mark feels that it's indeed possible. The building blocks exist including vAIsual's Dataset Shop which has image datasets are available which are totally released and free for use in this capacity.
• Mark predicts that legally and ethically viable generative AI tools will be commercially available by the end of summer 2023.

Yash and Maarten talk to Dan Fowler about the history and potential of blockchain tools for music. They touch on everything, from metadata to licensing, and from the artist-as-platform to supply-side disruption. Dan talks about his own journey into crypto music and what he's learned about the fundamentals of the blockchain - self-sovereignty, transparency, permissionless building - in the first wave and how artists have started to redefine how they earn revenue in the second wave.
