6 ways media companies use AI to meet strategic needs
We’re all having lots of fun with ChatGTP and Stable Diffusion among other AI tools. But it’s important that we appreciate the versatility of artificial intelligence when it comes to less frivolous, more fundamental concerns. For publishers that means everything from personalisation to predicting propensity to pay. For DCN, Damian Radcliffe examines some of those core applications of AI.
My favourite is probably the use of AI to broaden the ability of publishers to distribute their content: “POLITICO Europe has used AI to convert two of their popular newsletters, Brussels Playbook and London Playbook into daily podcasts. This type of technological solution can help publishers manage their resources more efficiently, as well as distribute content to different platforms in a timely and cost-effective manner”.
But if you don’t fancy listening to a robot reading to you (though, would you really be able to tell any more?) then there are other examples in there. AI’s position within media companies isn’t limited to one silo any more; it has applications everywhere.
