Richard Adams discusses the future of media and how technology will change various industries like television, radio, photography, music, writing and more. He predicts that computation and artificial intelligence will enable anyone to easily create high quality content in these fields. Technologies like machine learning, predictive algorithms and automated content production will disrupt traditional media jobs and business models. Content will be personalized and delivered on-demand to audiences. The lines between creator and consumer will blur as everyone has the ability to generate and share media.

- 18. Ps… Definitions • Algorithm; a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. • AI; intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving" (known as Machine Learning)
Editor's Notes
- The new landscape is characterised by these underpinnings leading to many changes
- What's so surprising about this?
- Picasso famously said that “Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.” It’s interesting that in the intervening years computing has become so embedded and part of the fabric of everyday life that we might be tempted to disregard this as being anachronistic. But there is a truth at its heart that is still there. Artists ask questions, that's what we do, in a very real sense we don’t want answers. When I walk into a gallery and see a series of paintings, I see each one as a set of questions in the artists progress, not a set of complete answers as most of the public do. What is interesting is that most of the computer art I have seen and been involved with is precisely not about answers and is about questions. It never was.
