Artificial intelligence and automated-production workflows are already impacting the way sports events are produced, but the technologies are still in the early stages, and there is much to be learned. On this episode of The SVG Podcast, Dennis Cleary, director, remote production operations at ESPN and Steve Grigely, VP, technical operations at Fox Sports Regional Networks share their thoughts on the technology and discuss whether all AI systems are created equal, how users can evaluate which AI system is the smartest for the task, and whether AI coupled with automated production can really tell the story as well as a human production team? The conversation comes from the stage of the 2018 SVG Summit and is moderated by Jason Cohen, VP, remote technical operations at CBS Sports. The SVG Podcast is for the sports-video–production professional looking to keep up with the latest in sports-video–production operations and technology. The program features interviews with some of the biggest, most influential names in the sports-video business talking trends and topics that are making an impact on the industry.
