Global Media Consult, a strategy and business consulting firm serving the international audiovisual industry, has begun supplying rights-cleared video and audio content for AI training and model development.
This specialized division is led by Christian Knaebel, MD, founder of Global Media Consult (pictured). The service, called Content Aimbasy, is described as a hand-picked, transaction-ready brokerage of large international audiovisual datasets.
Knobel says Content Aimbassy meets the need for multilingual, legally clean datasets.
This content collection includes 47,000 hours of scripted content in multiple languages, from low-budget productions to high-end dramas, plus 75,000 hours of multilingual news and interviews and 96,000 hours of sports.
There are 60,000 hours of documentaries and wildlife and 13,000 hours of animation. According to Content Aimbasy, there are 3 million hours of audio in more than 70 languages, most of which comes from talk radio, radio news, and podcasts.
Diverse and representative data
“We understand our buyers’ needs and source content that meets our technical standards,” Knebel explains. “It’s important to have diverse and representative datasets, which is why we’re continually looking for new content and content types to add to our library from around the world.”
The company acts as an advisor on AI in media and licensing, and according to Knaebel, “We have quietly aggregated an impressive independent portfolio of content that has cleared international rights.
“What started as iterative conversations with AI developers has now matured into a purpose-built service. Shaping an AI system requires a curated and diverse dataset.
“We are fully transparent with content owners and fully document the origin of their content.
“AI algorithms, models, and systems are not only based on perfect code and how it is computed, but also on the diversity, legality, and completeness of the training data. [part of the ecosystem] Amazingly unstructured. ”
AI training represents a potential new revenue stream for content rights holders.
