07.08.2025 - 18:06:58AI is turbocharging media production and democratizing creativity, but challenges persist for the industry, reveals new MIT Technology Review Insights research report
Digital media standards underlie every advance. Digital media technologies and standards are the soft infrastructure behind all digital entertainment, and they will be essential to more complex, interactive, and "live-ish" experiences of the future, including gaming, sports/esports, music, and the metaverse.
Media and entertainment brands have often been tech vanguards, but they also struggle to reorient their business models during these transitions. They should forge new alliances, take an expansive view of their ecosystem to include non-traditional partners and think creatively about routes to monetization.
"The media and entertainment landscape is entering a transformative era where AI is no longer just a tool but a catalyst for creative reinvention and operational efficiency," says Laurel Ruma, global director of custom content for MIT Technology Review. "Success in this new era will require balancing experimentation with responsibility and embracing the evolving digital standards. AI should be seen as a partner in creativity, amplifying human ingenuity rather than replacing it."
