Why Live Streaming or Webcasting Need Artificial Intelligence?

Using today's live-streaming technology, practically anyone can publish or watch the real-time video with an IP-connected computer from anywhere in the world. At the same time, this gain comes with a few disadvantages, such as accessibility problems, privacy issues, and much more.

The immense abilities and diverse learning processes make AI the best method to automate legacy systems for video streaming and broadcasting. Utilizing AI helps develop sophisticated and scalable, reliable, stable, user-specific networking solutions.

How Artificial Intelligence Can Reduce Challenges with Live Streaming & Webcasting

Interruptions during live streaming are often disturbing. But breaches of copyright are most found to be errors conducted by both first and seasoned timers. One of AI's solutions is to blur brand images and standard images that create real-time copyright infringement and reveal more solutions for utilizing AI.

Automated object detection & taking necessary actions:

With AI solutions driven by machine learning and deep learning, the streamer can classify artifacts faster and analyze streaming content to more efficiently track damaging content to secure the privacy of the victim. With technology convergence, any live stream violating the group expectations can be disrupted by the streaming network.

Content tagging to improve the user experience:
