Rethinking How Life Sciences Organizations Approach AI - Mathias Cousin of Deloitte

AI has made it easier to understand text as a medium in a deeper, more efficient way and at scale. With video, the situation is quite different. Searching for content within videos is more challenging because video is not just voice and sound, it is also a collection of moving and still images on screen. How could AI work to overcome that challenge?
 
In this episode of the AI in Industry podcast, we interview Manish Gupta, CEO and co-founder of VideoKen, about the future of video search as machine learning is increasingly integrated into the process. Dr. Gupta talks about how video is becoming more searchable and discusses his own forecasts about what that will look like in the future. He also predicts what machine learning will allow Youtube to do as people continue to search for more specific video content.
 
Our Content Lead, Raghav Bharadwaj, joins us for this interview.
