Daniel Anstandig will give the welcome session keynote of the NAB Show in April, and he’ll be joined on stage by a humanoid robot that uses artificial intelligence technology.
This is being described as the world’s first keynote speech co-presented by a human and an advanced AI robot.
Anstandig is the CEO of Futuri, which jolted the radio industry with the introduction a year ago of an AI-based platform called RadioGPT, later renamed as Futuri AudioAI.
The National Association of Broadcasters announced that the welcome session will be Monday April 15 at 9:30 a.m. on the Main Stage of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
NAB President/CEO Curtis LeGeyt will take part in an interview with journalist Adrienne Bankert of Nexstar Media Group’s NewsNation.
Then Anstandig will speak, joined on stage by Ameca, “an autonomously AI-powered humanoid robot” developed by Engineered Arts, to discuss a study on audience perspectives on AI’s use in broadcast media. [Read about Ameca.]
“This impressive keynote event will feature collaboration between Anstandig and Ameca as they deliver study findings pivotal to the industry’s future,” NAB said in the announcement.
Artificial intelligence technologies will be a major theme of sessions and exhibit displays at the convention.
Anstandig said he plans to talk about audience perceptions of AI and “the delicate balance of innovation and user expectations.”
