About this second event:


The media and entertainment industry is experiencing a transformative era fueled by Gen AI. A complex web of challenges has recently emerged as the pace of change accelerates.

The deepfake dilemma: The proliferation of hyper-realistic deepfakes raises serious concerns about misinformation, manipulation, and reputational damage. Bias in the black box: AI algorithms can perpetuate and amplify existing societal biases if not carefully designed and monitored. The human factor: While AI can automate tasks and enhance creativity, human judgment and storytelling remain irreplaceable. The ghost in the machine: The question of ownership and authorship remains murky when AI contributes to content creation.

There are so many interesting topics around Gen AI in Media and Entertainment and this event is set to be another fascinating half-day in London at Globants Victoria Street office.

The challenges presented at the previous event:


  • Using AI to boost creative production for digital/social media: Localization & efficiency.
  • Keeping the human in the loop for compliance, creativity, and avoidance of bias
  • Using Gen-AI for efficiency: How to discern genuine opportunities vs over-expectations
  • Bespoke vs. Common AI for master data & doc management: Best long-term strategy?
  • Crafting a viable AI strategy aligning with values, data principles & innovation
  • Balancing foundational data capabilities vs. full focus on Gen AI

The first challenge we have received is: Critical thinking and problem solving skills are the life skills everyone needs in the age of AI. I worry the next generation are not being helped adequately to develop these skills, and that much of society is sleepwalking into complacency. We risk facing chaos brought about in geopolitics by deep fakes and ever more sophisticated GenAI. It is therefore vital those of us who understand the powers, opportunities and challenges of AI find ways to rise up others so we help create a more equitable, safer world.

Participants will


  • Engage with C-level leaders from the media and entertainment industry to exchange invaluable insights and experiences.
