Al Jazeera Media Network has a large daily influx of content that needs to be ingested and stored in their central archive. They are implementing automated and AI-based media console systems to help manage this content more efficiently. The systems will use machine learning to analyze videos, enrich metadata, and translate scripts and text. This will help improve content discovery, retrieval and accessibility across Al Jazeera's many language channels and platforms.
