ways to introduce AI into everyday workflows.” He even claims this ‘can happen within a couple weeks.’ EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN Incorporating AI can be daunting, as it may require a complete operations overhaul. “We completely understand the hesitation. Things change fast – keeping track can be tiring,” Glänzel states. That is why he encourages businesses to make small, subtle adjustments now that will provide a foundation for future success. “As the market is changing in terms of quality, availability and cost, what seems today as ‘not good enough’ and ‘too expensive’ might be acceptable and within budget tomorrow,” he observes. “A flexible framework to react to these changes will be a key differentiator between a business that can adapt quickly and harness AI’s added benefits versus one that takes too long to do so.” In other words, being an early AI adopter is in everyone’s best interest. The industry is at a crossroads. With every AI-related opportunity comes an ethical or regulatory obstacle. But pushing back against AI will only slow businesses down.

Glänzel, speaking from experience. “If any changes in the market occur, they’ll have the agility to adopt new solutions without needing to do so from scratch.” Glänzel offers several suggestions on how to navigate today’s media landscape – AI and all. “From our experience, many companies are currently struggling to develop a clear AI strategy and governance structure. The most important step is getting to grips with the topic quickly – start now before you are left behind,” he shares. “It can help to determine your own AI maturity level and set up a roadmap with an internal task force. With our GenAI maturity model, we support customers in their next steps until AI technology is anchored in their corporate culture and operations.” Glänzel’s advice differs somewhat for companies who are still at the beginning of their AI journeys.
