Out with the old, in with the AI: generative technology is ready to steal the show and reshape the entertainment industry in ways we’ve never seen before. According to International Data Corp, the media sector is witnessing an unparalleled boom in AI investments, with a whopping five-year compound annual growth rate of over 30%. Stats like these, among many others, circulating online, bring up thought-provoking questions within the entertainment industry today. For example, could AI be the driving force behind a significant shift in how entertainment is produced and consumed in the future? Does the rise of AI in the entertainment world present a challenge to artists and other creative minds in the sector?

Interestingly enough, Google Bard (the search giant’s answer to Microsoft’s popular Bing Chat) was recently asked about its capabilities.  The AI chatbot disclosed that generative AI thrives in “tasks that require creativity.” This revelation, like others, may not be entirely comforting to artists and creative professionals in the entertainment industry; however, it could hint at how the future of entertainment will be shaped by the fusion of AI and human innovation as AI in the entertainment world continues to grow.

So, what’s in store for the entertainment industry as AI takes the spotlight? Ashley Russo, Founder & President of ASR Media Productions, recognizes the undeniable impact of AI on the entertainment and news sectors. Yet, she believes that human connection is vital for truly realizing customers’ visions.

Ashley Russo’s Thoughts: 

“Production in both the entertainment industry and the news industry are being greatly improved by the use of AI. However, when it comes to relating to customers and creating their vision and bringing it to life, I don’t think anything will ever replace people.”

Google’s Most Powerful AI Model Went to Cyber Defenders First—A Signal for B2B Access

Google’s Most Powerful AI Model Went to Cyber Defenders First—A Signal for B2B Access

Google launched Gemini 4 Argon, its most capable AI model, with gated access rolling out first through the Fairwind Program to “trusted cyber defenders,” with paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers next—signaling a shift from open consumer launches to trust-based, tiered enterprise distribution. Argon supports up to 1 million output tokens and posts knowledge-work and engineering benchmarks like 51.3% on AutomationBench and 77.9% on DeepSWE v1.1.

  • 011 million output tokens enable end-to-end deliverables: complete codebases, financial analyses, or legal drafts in a single pass, changing the unit of work for knowledge professionals.
  • 02Fairwind Program already includes 650+ organizations across government, critical infrastructure, and security partners; Wiz used Argon to find a critical healthcare vulnerability previous frontier models missed.
  • 03AI governance programs are now procurement requirements; enterprises should audit security and data controls, map high-cost knowledge workflows (contract review, financial modeling, codebase modernization), and evaluate models by task rather than by vendor.

Phocas finds 39% of distributors don't measure sales forecast accuracy

Phocas finds 39% of distributors don't measure sales forecast accuracy

Phocas surveyed more than 100 wholesale distributors and found that 49% are now using AI for selling. Yet 39% don't track sales forecasting accuracy. Without that baseline, many sales leaders could struggle to show whether their AI tools improved results. The win-rate tracking is notably lower for those focused on growing existing accounts rather than winning new ones.

  • 01For the 39% of distributors that don’t track forecast accuracy, there’s no baseline for judging whether AI made the next forecast any better.
  • 02Priorities set the scorecard: 87% of distributors chasing new customers track new-business win rate, against 46% of those focused on growing existing accounts.
  • 03Field or outside sales remains the most effective channel (55%) versus e-commerce (5%), and the survey suggests AI will be used alongside reps rather than replacing them.
