Joe Pham, chairman and CEO of QSC | Q-SYS, shared his insights on AI and its rapidly evolving integration into the AV world—and the world in general—in his InfoComm keynote, “Everything Has Changed: AV’s Infinite Potential in an Exponential Age.” Using everything from amusing pseudo Tweets from historical figures to cell-phone videos of his family’s adventures at a Taylor Swift concert last year, Pham’s hour-long talk discussed human progression through crucial eras of history—the scientific revolution, the industrial revolution, and more up to the current day—before postulating where we may be headed in the next 10 years and how the AV industry can not merely participate, but make a crucial difference in the burgeoning integration of AI into everyday life.
Discussing how the data that powers AI will in turn be able to be harnessed to aid AV, Pham explained, “We need our AV system in a single platform and [to] build an ecosystem around it because you need everything connected in a smart platform. And once you have this, that's really when you can enable data and AI.
