At the recent CDSA Summit at IBC, Matt Blakemore, CEO of AI Caramba! and an expert in AI and emerging tech, discussed the potential for AI to be the driving force behind a new industrial revolution. In his keynote, “Is AI the Next Industrial Revolution?”, Blakemore walked attendees through the past three industrial revolutions—mechanical, electrical, and digital—and suggested that the fourth, fueled by AI, began in the year 2000. With his background in developing patented AI video technologies and setting industry standards, Blakemore highlighted how AI is reshaping media, entertainment, and global economic structures, fundamentally altering workflows and creative processes.
Blakemore argued that AI’s influence is already transforming workplaces and industries, making it a critical component of modern systems that meet society’s evolving needs. The presentation explored how deep learning and AI have become central to the media and entertainment landscape, influencing everything from production workflows to the creative workforce. For those interested in diving deeper into the topic, all presentations from the CDSA Summit, including insights from other industry leaders like AMD’s John Canning and Ben Schofield, are available for viewing.
