73 audiovisual professionals to learn how to create intuitive and user-friendly workspaces that enhance productivity and the employee experience,” says Hintze. “This includes room design, technology integration, and customising user interfaces. “Without giving too much away, we’ll be featuring some pretty significant updates to our Automate VX multi-camera speaker solution,” says Hintze. “Beyond that, InfoComm will be a continuation of our approach to trade shows: It’s no longer about a collection of black boxes. It’s about what these systems and solutions can accomplish – working in concert with partners like Microsoft – and presenting that holistic experience to the attendees. We’ve been very focused on solutions that speak to our three biggest areas of expertise: content, collaboration and control, and we’ll be demonstrating our latest advances in all three of those areas.” Integrating AI for the future of work AI is set to play a key role in enhancing workplace efficiency, but organisations must be prepared to integrate it effectively. “With all of the hype and popular culture drama that has traditionally surrounded AI – and some of the early results of its applications – we need to do some myth-busting,” says Hintze. “First, we need to understand this technology is in its infancy. When you first used dial-up internet, did you ever imagine having broadband on your phone? I don’t think many of us did, and that’s where we are with AI. In retrospect, future iterations will be so advanced that the current experience will seem utterly primitive.” Hintze emphasises AI should be seen as an assistant, rather than a replacement, for employees. “It’s not going to replace you – AI is a true virtual assistant when it’s applied properly,” he says. “As we continue to develop AI agents, these solutions will become more helpful. Think of agents as specialists – we need them to handle specific tasks, from retrieving an email chain to creating lines of code. We’ll be able to converse with those agents in an increasingly natural manner until it’s as intuitive as asking a coworker to send you a document. “It’s vital to mentally and culturally prepare for AI as a partner and not a replacement in the modern workplace. Those who can express the potential benefits of AI to their employees will be ahead of the game. People do their best work when they trust the available technology, and AI and its agents will soon be able to be a trustworthy virtual assistant that can handle a variety of mundane, time-consuming tasks, giving us more time to collaborate, ideate and create.”
