MPTS 2026 Field Recordings with Vinay Gupta and Shelly Chambers

🎙️ A special field edition of Broadcast Media: The Inside Track, recorded live on the show floor at MPTS 2026, The Media Production and Technology Show at Olympia London.🔍 Two days. One diagnostic question. Who in broadcast is actually developing bespoke AI models?In this episode Ben Anchor takes you to Olympia and shares two on-floor conversations with industry colleagues, captured between the stands and the theatres at the tenth anniversary edition of MPTS.🎤 In conversation with Vinay Gupta (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinay-k-gupta/)Ten years in broadcast, a veteran of multiple product launches and an experienced technologist. Vinay gives a candid read on where broadcast AI actually sits in 2026: the cautious observation phase, the dominance of vendor product suites, the two-to-three-year window before broadcasters start building proprietary intelligence on their own data, and why the cloud adoption journey is the closest historical parallel. He makes the case that data strategy and classification are the unglamorous preconditions that determine who wins the next phase.🎬 In conversation with Shelly Chambers (https://www.linkedin.com/in/s-j-chambers/)Moving from media into tech, fresh from the new Creator Hub at MPTS. Shelly brings the creator economy lens: why creators are actively rejecting polished AI-in-content and returning to rawness and storytelling, where AI is genuinely useful (marketing, scripting support, editing assistance, social design), and the workforce shift that almost no one is talking about — prompting as the new baseline literacy across every role, the way Microsoft Office became assumed a decade ago.📊 Between them, two perspectives that frame the state of broadcast AI in May 2026: the broadcaster's cautious view of model ownership and the creator economy's pragmatic view of AI in the workflow.🎯 Honest, unedited, recorded on the floor at Olympia. The shiny gives way to the real.📍 MPTS 2026 — The Grand Hall, Olympia London.
