Meet the Augmented Media

In his presentation Pierre-Nicolas Schwab will deal with augmented media and will discuss the effect of artificial intelligence, and in particular algorithms, on media consumption.

Recommendation algorithms are nowadays everywhere and greatly modify the way consumers behave. Netflix claims that 75% to 80% of all content consumed on their platforms is recommended by algorithms. which reinforce the fear of filter bubbles.

The augmented media trend is made possible by data-driven advances. We will debate of the underlying technological trends, the future recommendation algorithms and of of media consumption.

In preparation for this talk we recommend that you browse Pierre-Nicolas’ publications on his blog.
