REMIT

Summary

In the rapidly evolving landscape of media and technology, the way we interact with and consume media content is undergoing a significant transformation. Furthermore, the question of content veracity is an issue we already have to face, in order to find attractive and reliable information solutions.

What if the way we rapidly produce news became an opportunity? Indeed, this “fast fashion of news” engages a huge amount of single-use information, then stored and categorized as archives, whether it is the latest TV news or a documentary made in 1980.

REMIT is a project developing an innovative system that leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to create user-driven narratives from the extensive audiovisual archives of Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS). Too technical? Then imagine an immersive system based on 360° screens where people have the opportunity to question and converse with an AI that processes archives and offers a new narrative around the topic being discussed.
