Industry Landscape
Where AI is being used in Media & Entertainment
AI is reshaping media from both ends: generative models can now produce text, images, audio and video at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional production, while AI-driven recommendation engines determine what audiences actually see and consume.
For Australian media companies, the combination of a small domestic market, concentrated ownership and competition from global platforms creates a distinct dynamic. AI offers efficiency gains, but also accelerates the erosion of traditional business models.
Generative content production
AI tools are producing draft articles, social content, video summaries and personalised newsletters at scale.
Algorithmic distribution
AI recommendation engines on platforms determine audience reach, reducing the power of traditional editorial curation.
Advertising intelligence
AI-driven ad targeting, programmatic buying and audience analytics are shifting where marketing spend goes.
Rights and IP management
AI is both a tool for rights tracking and a source of IP disputes around training data and generated content.
