This year’s NAB Show in April will feature an autonomously AI-powered humanoid robot, that will discuss audience perspectives on AI’s use in broadcast media as its opening keynote. The robot, known as Ameca, will be joined on stage by Futuri CEO Daniel Anstandig to discuss the findings of a survey into how audiences perceive AI in the media.
   

“My conversation with Daniel and Ameca, the AI robot, is part of an extensive lineup of AI-focused educational sessions, interactive exhibits, Show floor tours, training and workshops as well as the AI Creative Summit at NAB Show,” said NAB president and CEO Curtis LeGeyt.

“There’s a reason why I chose a humanoid to join me in presenting this coveted NAB Keynote,” added Anstandig. “We’re not just presenting data, we’re showcasing the future of AI and human interaction.”

Anstandig plans to reveal a clear and compelling picture of audience perceptions on AI and the delicate balance of innovation and user expectations, said NAB.

NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas from April 13-17, 2024.
