Synthetic Media

Component, Samsung, Nov 19, 2020

Welcome to the world of synthetic media. This is the subject of this month's issue of Component, the second issue of this magazine produced by Samsung (the first issue covered edge computing). While on the one hand we've probably reached the limit of how much media any of us can consume, "the adoption of new technologies based around artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic media will further democratize the ability for creators to make highly engaging and interactive content at a much lower cost." To the extent that this is true (and why wouldn't it be?) this will push the cost of media down another two orders of magnitude. Including educational media. (We should be clear that this is produced by Samsung as advertising content, not objective journalism (but this is not an ad in OLDaily and I get nothing for posting this)).
