The SMPTE Sum-Up

Welcome to the SMPTE Sum-Up, the weekly publication that details the recent and current events of your favorite standards development organization. This week at SMPTE:

Last month, SMPTE Toronto hosted TTC 2024 (Toronto Technical Conference), focusing on the intersection of media and artificial intelligence (AI). The event took place on June 11th with an evening BBQ, followed by a full day of presentations on June 12th. A total of eleven amazing presentations were delivered during the conference. Attendees left with enhanced knowledge of AI. SMPTE Toronto and the TTC 2024 organizing committee extend their gratitude to all presenters, tradeshow participants, sponsors, and attendees.

This week, SMPTE Education held the next part of our AI in Media series: Ethics and Regulations in AI! Featuring leading AI experts, including SMPTE President Renard T. Jenkins, this webcast detailed the importance of regulation, as well as some possible strategies to make it a reality. Some of the topics covered were ethical sourcing, responsible AI, and content authentication.

The SMPTE UK Section held a special screening of the HBO Camera Assessment Screening! The sixth installment of this dynamic series was a major success, and well attended by some of the biggest names in the UK media tech industry. Taking place at London's Channel 4, this section meeting was a great chance to check out a one-of-a-kind project.

SMPTE UK section is having a big July, as last week they played a major role in the Step-Up Expo! This event focuses on getting teens interested in the media technology industry. SMPTE UK's Polly Hickling was tasked with finding volunteers for the events, and the section set up a special booth that got a lot of foot traffic. It was a great day spent inspiring Europe's youths!
