Streaming & Access Innovation: How Next-Gen Tech is Transforming the Audience Experience

This panel will look at the use of AI and how it can be deployed successfully to deliver accessibility within modern streaming environments, where intelligent, automated systems are increasingly central to services such as live subtitling, captioning and translation. The discussion will consider how combining AI with human expertise enables scalable, high‑quality access solutions, rather than treating accessibility as a late‑stage or purely cost‑driven addition. 

As streaming technology continues to evolve, new opportunities are emerging to improve accessibility and enhance the audience experience. This session explores how developments such as zero‑latency delivery, live automatic captioning and translation, and advances in audio description are reshaping the way content can be made more inclusive.

With rapid progress in AI and streaming technologies, this session will reflect on both the opportunities and considerations that arise as the industry moves towards a more interactive, customisable and user‑centric future.
