🔥 AI in Media: From Experiments to Real Business Value

On April 16, 2026, the new Media Technologies Cluster space at the Moscow Innovation Cluster will host a business session on the practical use of artificial intelligence in media companies’ operational processes.

The event will bring together executives from media holdings, online cinemas, rights holders, tech companies, and developers of industry solutions. The focus will be on concrete use cases for AI in media production, distribution, and content management — not abstract discussions about the future.

Speakers sharing real-world experience and practical cases include:

• Valeria Brusnikina, Vice President of the IPChain Association;
• Natalia Tylevich, CEO of Social Laboratory;
• Grigory Kuzin, Director of Media Platforms at MSK-IX;
• Evgeny Ilyushin, AI Director at Okko and Academic Director of AI programs at the Central University.

Participants will discuss how AI is already serving as a practical tool in media businesses to boost efficiency, reduce manual operations, and accelerate key content workflows.

A dedicated networking session will follow the business program, offering an informal setting to continue case discussions, exchange contacts, connect with potential tech partners, and plan ongoing collaborations.

Key Program Topics

The core focus is on practical AI applications for operational challenges in media companies, particularly AI compliance and automated content checks against legal requirements, internal policies, and editorial standards. Special attention will go to how these tools lighten the load on legal, editorial, and content teams; cut manual review volumes; and speed up material preparation for publication and distribution. Additional highlights include AI for content localization, automatic subtitle generation, media data management, efficient media library operations, rights holder reporting, and personalized recommendation engines.
