Overview

With announcements from OpenAI, Google and Apple it is becoming clearer that their AI products are positioning themselves for closer relationships to consumers. As more sits within their walled gardens and we have less control over search, alerts and summaries, where does discovery come from in the future? What does the future of our relationships with consumers look like? And what formats should we be delivering in? As a group we will discuss various scenarios and how we prepare for them.

AI & news: Balancing accuracy, attribution, and AI partnerships

Three individual 30-minute frank discussions with major AI players about how they are working with news when it comes to AI. We’ll be asking two questions through short presentations and open Q&A/discussion:

  • For news events, how do you reward accuracy (i.e. verified information and sources) over speed (which has the potential to be flooded by bad actors)?
  • How do you work with content owners, if at all, for grounding/RAG? Specifically around permission, attribution, and monetisation.

Don't let legacy tech get in the way of innovation

n this session, we'll explore how media companies can prioritize what they do best – fostering human connection – without being weighed down by tech debt. Through open discussions, we’ll address common concerns and objections about tech proposals early in the buying cycle, helping stakeholders align on the right tech strategies.

10:50 a.m.-11:25 a.m.
The middlemen: Two solutions to the same problem

Two companies are trying to solve the complex issue of appropriate permission, attribution, and monetisation for content owners. In this session, we will hear from each and discuss the considerations news media should consider before making any decisions.
