Media technology priorities for 2018 and beyond

From production studios to boardrooms, media executives are asking questions about a range of new technologies with the potential to “revolutionise” the industry. But which new technologies need to be front of mind for decision makers in 2018?

How will the use of voice change how audiences search for and discover content? How big is the potential for AI and machine learning to revolutionise the broadcast value chain? Will VR justify the hype or does the opportunity lie in AR instead? Is the shift to the cloud the biggest story going on behind the scenes?
