    AI in Media: Balancing Innovation with Ethical Concerns

    Concerns about artificial intelligence’s (AI) potential to displace jobs and negatively impact creative endeavors are particularly prevalent in the media and entertainment industries. In May, Avasant’s Empowering Beyond Summit included a panel titled, “Reality Check: How can media survive the coming disruption?” Avasant Managing Partner Robert Joslin led Fay Wells, a technology and media entertainment executive; Bharat Krish, CPO of Newsweek; Ghalib Kassam, CIO of the LA Times; and Chad Hamilton, VP of Fremantle, in conversation about AI and the media. They spoke about the current capabilities of AI in content creation, the ethical concerns it raises, and the implications for human creativity.

    AI in Media: Solving the Challenges of Attention and Output

    In an age where content is unlimited, but attention is scarce, media companies face a growing paradox: how to deliver stories that capture attention without drowning audiences in noise. At the same time, the pressure to produce content faster has intensified, particularly in journalism where deadlines often cut into depth. Together, these twin challenges—the demand for personalized engagement and the need for speed—have forced the industry to search for new solutions. Increasingly, the answer lies in artificial intelligence. Far from replacing creativity, AI is emerging as a tool to repurpose content, personalize experiences, and streamline production, allowing creators to focus on what matters most: telling stories that resonate. Industry leaders, including those speaking at Avasant’s “Empowering Beyond Summit,” have echoed this view—arguing that AI is becoming not a threat, but an enhancer of creativity (Avasant Summit Video, 2025).

    A divestiture involves selling, liquidating, or spinning off a business unit to streamline operations, reduce debt, or reallocate resources, often as part of a corporate restructuring strategy.

    App Developers Make Up a Record Low Percentage of IT Staff

    In just five years, the proportion of application developers within IT departments has declined sharply from nearly a quarter of the entire IT staff to just over one-tenth.

Rather, it signals a change in the overall composition of IT teams and an evolving role for application developers within the organization. This research byte summarizes our full report on application developer staffing ratios.
