The integration of AI into Audio Visual technologies has been widely discussed in the workplace, often highlighted for its transformative impact but what evidence supports these claims?
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with
Audio Visual (AV) technologies is changing modern workplace environments. As
organisations continue to adopt flexible working models, the demand for
intelligent, adaptive meeting spaces has grown significantly. AI is changing the way meetings are conducted, from
conference rooms to boardrooms and beyond. In today’s hybrid work environment, meetings often include a
mix of in-person and remote participants. For instance, in a meeting where two
participants are physically present while two join remotely, maintaining engagement for everyone can be a challenge. AI-powered solutions
provide an effective way to bridge this gap, improving communication and
collaboration across diverse settings.
Three Examples of AI-Powered AV Technology
Traditional video conferencing setups, such as basic cameras, often fall short in creating an engaging experience for remote participants. These systems can fail to capture all in-person communication, potentially weakening connections between colleagues or clients. AI-integrated AV solutions address these challenges with features such as intelligent camera framing, distraction cancellation, and room analytics.

Intelligent Camera Framing: AI-enabled cameras ensure inclusive and engaging meetings by automatically adjusting the framing. The camera centres participants as they join the room and adapts its view as more attendees arrive. It focuses on the speaker during discussions but can also shift to others based on gestures like nodding, creating a smooth and natural flow for remote participants.
Background Distraction Management: This feature works with intelligent camera framing to minimise disruptions. The system filters out distractions, such as individuals walking into the room or momentary interruptions, ensuring the primary speaker remains the focus throughout the meeting.
Room Scheduling and Analytics: AI enhances room management by optimising usage. For instance, if a booked room remains unoccupied for 15 minutes, the AI Cameras installed will recognise there has been no movement and will release it for others to use. Additionally, analytics provide valuable insights into room utilisation, helping organisations identify underused spaces and make data-driven decisions to improve resource allocation and meeting room features.
74% of surveyed businesses identified AI product development as a key driver of growth
The Bigger Picture
The benefits of AI extend beyond meeting rooms. According to recent GOV UK statistics, 74% of surveyed businesses identified AI product development as a key driver of growth. Moreover, 73% of U.S. companies use AI in some aspect of their business (PwC, 2023), highlighting the impact of this technology on a global scale.
