At an IBC2025 roundtable, media and entertainment leaders shared the key challenges they face in the implementation of AI, as they sought to better understand and tap into the technology’s potential across a range of applications.
Marcin Remarczyk, Head of Media Consulting EMEA at Cognizant, opened the session: “Despite all the efforts to experiment with AI in media and entertainment, there is still a feeling in the industry that there is a lot of room for improvement.

In 2024, the board asked its C-suite: ‘What are you doing about AI?’ Then the C suite, absolutely panicking, asked the next level down: ‘Show me that you're doing something with AI.’
