II. MEMBER ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: IN-HOUSE USE CASES FOR AI (11:10 – 11:40a.m. ET)
Many in-house agencies were built with the intent of being faster, cheaper, and better options compared to external agency partners. That would make AI a natural fit for in-house teams; to build derivate assets faster, to save time and costs on complex production shoots, or to help with ideation by creating more detailed creative concepts. So, what’s holding in-house agencies back from adopting AI more broadly? Join us for a roundtable discussion on the challenges and opportunities in making AI a core component of in-house agency ways of working.

Jessica Cipolla-Tario, VP of Global Creative Services – Sony Interactive Entertainment and In-House Agency Committee Co-Chair
