Many software applications claim Artificial Intelligence (AI) or machine learning as their underlying power. Is this just marketing hype, or is AI a really useful technology for the media and entertainment sector?
AI is not new, it’s been around for half a century or so, but it is only recently that the term has been cropping up in product descriptions. So, what is it and what potential does it have for this sector?
