Traveling at light speed with open eyes is awesome, but sometimes you should look back…
On my way back from the Alps, I spent quality time with colleagues and partners from the Media & Entertainment industry at our Munich offices. It was eye-opening to see how rapidly the industry is adopting cloud technology and the massive transformation underway — aimed at more value and better experiences for viewers and users. Thanks to Christopher for the invitation!
Clemens opened the day with fascinating insights into the M&E industry, setting a positive foundation with encouraging outlooks 😀 .
We also explored GenAI. Interestingly, I presented on this exact topic 448 days ago at last year’s event. Revisiting that presentation while preparing current content made me realize we’re not just moving fast—which I feel daily—but taking time to look back and comprehend the distance traveled reveals how much the industry has already achieved. We’re still accelerating. Exciting times!
My main focus was AI agents and Agentic AI for Media & Entertainment. I’m thrilled about the Amazon Bedrock Core announcements Swami presented later that day at our New York Summit, which aim to further simplify agent development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2890bEb61qQ
Content-wise, I covered many topics, including the newly launched Kiro(https://kiro.dev/) product and its promise for: 1) accelerating ideation to prototype phases, and 2) enabling smoother transitions into production. I used an example I posted about earlier (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stefanchristoph_today-i-had-a-brief-coding-session-with-the-activity-7350934298755063809-CbEI I haven’t had time to develop it further yet.
I also showcased demos presented three months ago at NAB. They’re available online (https://aws.amazon.com/media/nab25-demos/) and can inspire you and your team on what’s possible today — as demos built on generally available services, so inspiration to start from, with production readiness assessed per workload. Don’t hesitate to contact me or my colleagues to dive deeper.
We are currently preparing for #IBC (https://show.ibc.org/, September 12th, Amsterdam), where you’ll experience the evolution of these demos plus new innovations. Will we meet there?
