What are the main trends of IBC 2023, in your opinion?
I think AI is going to be a big deal at IBC 2023. Technologies like ChatGPT and other AI capabilities that help broadcasters in their work are likely to be in the spotlight. This includes speech-to-text, video processing, content creation, and everything else that’s currently available.

What are the main directions of development most characteristic in your segment of the industry?
We’re showcasing the latest Octopus 12 newsroom system, which also introduces a new upline. The system is enhanced with AI, incorporating AI workflows and several UI improvements. Additionally, we’re introducing I-Reporter, a video gathering platform, and KO:R, a planning and collaboration tool for broadcasters who prefer to consolidate their planning into a single system instead of using 20 different ones.
- Are there any developments in integrating AI into your solutions?
We have a solution called the Connector. It doesn’t develop our AI tools but opens the doors for any AI tools that you might want to use with Octopus.
