AI in media today is a patchwork of point tools bolted onto legacy pipelines. This talk presents a different approach: an AI-native content system built from the ground up, where generative models (photoreal digital humans, authentic voice synthesis) sit on top of an AI-native asset management core that understands enterprise data, rights, and provenance. Drawing on real deployments across healthcare, sports, entertainment and advertising, I'll cover what changes when AI is the foundation of the pipeline rather than an add-on: governance, C2PA provenance, rights management, and scale.
