Welcome to the EBU's hub on artificial intelligence (AI). AI is emerging as a powerful tool for strengthening relationships between public service media (PSM) and its citizens.
From technological development to content creation, distribution, ethics, education, legal regulations and advocacy, we work towards helping our Members leverage the opportunities of AI and data. The EBU is committed to supporting its Members in collectively tackling the burning questions surrounding AI, by offering a comprehensive array of resources, learning opportunities, as well as groups, projects and events.
We are now expanding our cross-disciplinary AI and Data Initiative to bring the exploration of AI and data to the core of our organization, focusing specifically on their impact in four key areas:
- Public service media strategy
- Public service values and ethics
- Regulation, policy and advocacy
- Content production and distribution
Join us in shaping the future of broadcasting through AI innovation. Elevate content, engage audiences, and lead with EBU's AI expertise.
