✨ I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined Media Lab Bayern's MEDIA TECH Lab's Batch 5 🤩 I’m developing a browser extension tailored for editors and professionals involved in text-related research, writing, and editorial reviewing. This MIT licensed open-source "AI toolbox" enables direct interaction with any website's content for tasks such as extraction (and Markdown conversion), audio transcription, translation, summarization, re-phrasing and more. It supports all major open-source and commercial AI models (OpenAI, Anthropics, Google, Cohere, Meta, etc. pp.), whether cloud-based, deployed on-premise, or locally. A pivotal goal is to foster a community that collaboratively creates and refines the open-sourced, high-quality dynamic prompts that drive the AI models within a professional, journalistic context. One technical challenge I'm tackling here is to minimize costs and enhance privacy by ensuring that AI tasks are processed locally whenever possible. This includes demonstrating how to implement vector embedding, indexing, and search in-browser using HNSW and cosine similarity algorithms, accelerated by WebAssembly and WebGPU. 🚀 This journey began last week at Media Lab Bayern with an exceptional group of fellows including Dr. Mirza Klimenta, Tobias Sterbak, and Sabine Wieluch, who also secured funding for their impressive projects 🙌 — definitely worth checking out! Special thanks to Jason Shen and Erkan Kasap from Media Lab Bayern for this amazing opportunity and their amazing support and guidance! 🙏💚 Stay tuned for regular updates, tech insights, and research results from this project right here on LinkedIn. And what's going to be the first content created with the help of FTR: KI-Tools? Well, that'll probably ftr.news, a Newsletter that Ute Muendlein and I plan to publish by Q3 2024 -- hence the project name. Well, there's so much to come, just stay tuned! ☺️ #Innovation #AI #Tech #vectorembedding #vectorstore #browserextension #llms #bayern #technologieland #innovationsland_bayern

I heard about the report from ActiveFence about the use of harmful language in AI generated music. So I made a radio report about it for Deutschlandradio in German. To warn you: It is really disgusting how extremists, terrorists, incel people or conspiracy theorists use artificial intelligence in songs. #ai #generativeai #hate #artificialintelligence https://lnkd.in/e_GTUPRP

Austria 🇦🇹: The digitization fund for radio is to be increased by 1 million euros per year. This fund supports the costs of digital terrestrial radio broadcasting via DAB+. "From June, 30 new radio programs will be launched via DAB+ and will make the radio offering in Austria even more colorful and diverse," says Drumm. "This will give Austrians even more choice, and it will be completely free and easy to access. But refinancing these stations is difficult, especially in the first few years, so this start-up funding is important to stabilize the offering." #DAB #Digitalradio #DABplus https://lnkd.in/dnsu9gX7

"The future of the #news industry is bright." Dr. Rainer Esser, CEO of ZEIT Verlagsgruppe, gave a positive and inspiring keynote during #beBeta24. Referring to the 4P's of Kotler, his advice to the audience was 👉 Price: Defend the value of your journalism, keep your price high enough Quality journalism costs money, and the industry needs to dare to keep a high price level for online access to news. Zeit uniquely keeps same subscription price for print and online readers (26 EUR/month). 👉 Product: Make your content "spannend", "lustig", "aktuell", "informativ" ZEIT has invested heavily in its newsroom (from 90 to 470 journalists). The content is no longer organized in the classical categories (Politics, Business,...), but much more thematic, with various new topics as Family, Green, X,... ZEIT now publishes 16 magazines. 👉 Location & promotion: Meet your readers where they are ZEIT is engaging with younger readers on TikTok. It produces 26 podcasts, who have resulted in 20 million downloads. He ended with a positive call-to-action. "Our industry is important. Technology brings endless new opportunites. Think out of the box, and keep going."

This morning, Dirk Voigtländer and I presented ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE’s key financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and we can clearly say: Our strong start to the year shows that we are on the right track.   In 2023, we have set a new course both operationally and strategically. In the first quarter, we are now seeing the first clear effects of our efficiency measures with Group revenues increasing by 6% and adjusted EBITDA growing by 35% year-on-year. The advertising business, which is particularly important for us, is continuing to recover – especially #Joyn is growing strongly. This shows that our strategic focus on digital reach pays off. At the same time, the Commerce & Ventures segment once again recorded significant double-digit revenue growth. Verivox GmbH and flaconi in particular are performing strongly.  Even though the market and economic environment remains challenging, we are looking to 2024 with confidence and are therefore confirming our full-year outlook. We will continue to focus clearly on the strategically relevant business areas related to our Entertainment portfolio and continue our consistent management of costs and cash flows.   You can find more about our #Q1 financial performance on our website: https://lnkd.in/dqg2HY5q

Aktuell: #China - aus "gegebenen Anlass": Wie weit gehen noch die #Menschrechtsverstöße? Was sagen die United Nations? Wie #Shanghai #KI- #Kameras nutzt, um #Uiguren aufzuspüren und zu verfolgen", schreibt heute Table.Briefings "#Chinese #security #authorities plan to procure #facial #recognition #software that can identif #Uyghurs in #public # spaces. Find out more in Table.Briefings. https://lnkd.in/eZubGPZ6 Chinese security authorities are using artificial intelligence to systematically track Uyghurs in Chinese #cities and generate individual #movement #profiles. This is confirmed by public #tenders for corresponding software, which are exclusively available to Table.Briefings. The documents come from local #police #departments in Shanghai, various cities and counties in the coastal province of #Zhejiang and the southwestern metropolis of #Chengdu. The tenders are explicitly aimed at identifying members of the Uyghur minority in public spaces," schreibt Marcel Grzanna aktuell. Danke für diese ungeheuerliche News.

Many thanks to the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) e.V. for having me as a guest author on this exciting topic and format. In my view, user consent will continue to be necessary in order to fulfil basic requirements such as customer journey tracking or frequency capping in digital marketing. There are options for the post-cookie era, including various identity solutions, first-party data, contextual targeting and the use of data clean rooms, to name the most promising solutions. Contextual is certainly a good addition but is not enough on its own. The Google Sandbox is still in the test phase and the initial test results from the IAB Tech Lab, for example, raise questions about its possibilities. ID solutions still seem to be the best approach. The big and yet unresolved question is which one(s) will ultimately prevail. I strongly believe, that an independent solution that supports all relevant ID providers is and will still be required. #Adform #digitalmarketing #programmatic #changethegame #cookieless

The adoption of cloud computing is transforming the public sector, promising enhanced efficiency, scalability, and innovation. As we navigate the complexities of cloudification, prioritizing sovereignty is not just a matter of compliance—it's a strategic imperative. By doing so, the public sector can harness the full potential of the cloud while safeguarding national interests and ensuring the highest standards of data protection and governance. Looking forward to discuss this next Monday in Berlin with Torsten Hallmann Florian Jeggle Holger Müller Mark Neufurth Christof A.

Our webinar series about China´s digital empire is continuing! Next week we´ll have a look at the huge variety of Chinese video platforms and how to choose the right platforms for one´s content and marketing. My wonderful Storymaker GmbH colleagues Chao Song and Jing Li will guide us through this session. Thursday, 18th of July at 8.30am CET https://lnkd.in/gQ_XXnvY Unlike the Western world, where mainstream video platforms like Netflix and YouTube dominate, these platforms are banned in China. As a result, China has developed its own array of distinctive video platforms. Besides Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), other major platforms include Kuaishou, Bilibili, Youku, iQIYI, and Tencent Video, what are the unique features and highlights of each of these platforms? What should marketers be focusing on?
