Oleg Kungurov: I hope for a breakthrough in AI in the field of graphic design of broadcasts

Oleg Kungurov, technical director of the Sport+Qazaqstan TV channel, Kazakhstan, in the TKT1957 survey «The year 2030: AI or engineer?».

1. How will the broadcasting industry and broadcast technologies change in the next 5 years?
2. If we model the world of broadcasting and broadcast tech in 2030, what role will AI play?
3. How will AI change your business segment?
4. Which professions will AI displace in the broadcasting technology industry by 2030?

1. Solutions for IP signal delivery will become more popular compared to traditional options like satellite communication and dedicated lines. Video editing will be partially, or even halfway, entrusted to artificial intelligence. Cloud solutions will become cheaper and more accessible due to advancements in technology and high market competition.

2. It is quite possible that artificial intelligence will make some professions redundant, but it will not completely replace all people in television production.

3. I am hopeful for a breakthrough in artificial intelligence in the field of broadcast graphics, which will make sports broadcasts more dynamic, vibrant, and engaging.

4. In my opinion, the role of an ingest engineer could be replaced by artificial intelligence. Video editors (not in all areas, but I admit in news production) could also be replaced.

All the opinions of industry leaders can be seen in the survey “Year 2030: AI or Engineer?”.
