LinkedIn post [LINK] made by Steve Jow, Vice President Of Sales | TD SYNNEX North America about the AAMA event “AAMA: Global Innovation & the Future of Media and AI”.

Thanks again to Rebecca Chou and the AAMA for the invite last Friday to the event focused on the impact AI is having on Media and AI.

👏 I enjoyed the perspectives offered on the topics from Dr. Jack Q. Gao, Chairman and CMO of Whale TV.

Opening with "AI is not a technology upgrade, rather it is a systemic reconstruction of how content is created, distributed, discovered, consumed, and monetized".

Then stepping thru the 3 generations of Media from Public, Social, to now AI. Then going thru how the models for each from creation to distribution to how we find and consume this media has evolved. Today AI allows great scale in all of these "steps", including how we tend to consume, and how that consumption will be monetized.

👏 I thought the panel, "Global Innovation, AI , and the Future of Digital Media", hosted by Professor Huijun Ring and included Raymond Chung, Hans van Alebeek, Bill King, Tina Tsou, and Sanjeev Kumar were well curated and offered great perspectives.

I appreciated how that topic was broken down into 4 areas of the impact to Platform, Content, Capital, and Global Market. As Dr. Gao stated, it's causing a reconstruction among all areas. Digesting this impact under the framework of these 4 "chapters" helped the clarity of the discussion.

I took away a lot of great nuggets. Such as the adoption of content generated fully by AI doesn't yet feel authentic enough, the insight on what some of the panelists thought the opportunities for capital are, and the topic of does AI cause less viewpoints, especially for developing generations.

That last topic brought up great responses from the panel, including Tina Tsou's final comment that technology should widen our lens, not shrink it.

I also liked Hans van Alebeek comment that he is very optimistic about the outlook for future generations and Bill King's comment that he encourages his children to use AI but also to use other "creative" toys such as Legos and Puzzles to foster a balanced approach.

At the end of it, I thought there was great content. I believe that AI is the great "Horizontal Disrupter" still.

It touches all industries, parts of our lives, etc,.

It is still "early innings" to figure it all out so important to continue to study to make sense of it all.

The technology and its applications are developing so rapidly that I find myself needing to consume a ton of information to form my own perspective.

I again, thank Rebecca Chou and the AAMA for the chance to do so.

I am in constant learn mode, after all, it's a hashtag#BTE (BestTeamEver) trait to...

🧩 Constantly educate yourself and gain perspectives, to form a balanced outlook to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.
