Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly the hottest topic in the tech industry today, displaying all the excitement, apprehension and hype of the early days of the Internet thirty years ago, reported TV Tech content director Tom Butts in his detailed wrapup of major AI developments in 2024.
AI is, of course, nothing new. Discussions of technology by legendary technologists like Alan Turing and Claude Shannon date back in the 1940s. And, in the last three quarters of a century AI has already gone through several hype and bust cycles. In a notable example of early hype, organizers of The Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956 that brought together many of early influential thinkers raised funds by claiming many of the problems facing AI could be solved during a single summer event.
Nearly 70 years later, the AI solutions have made enormous advances. But as our coverage indicates, it is still early days for their deployment in the media and entertainment industry and many companies are approaching the technology with some caution.
