NASA+’s work streaming from rovers, astronauts, and now the moon puts a spotlight on a challenge that shows up much closer to home too: blind spots where video outpaces the humans meant to watch it—in stadiums, ad libraries, surveillance networks, and city infrastructure. In this fireside chat, Simon Lecointe discusses how multimodal AI is closing that gap, turning raw, ungoverned video into searchable, structured, actionable data in near-real time, without manual tagging or a research team combing through footage. The conversation covers what “understanding” video actually means to a model; how that same understanding lets teams flag policy risks, sensitive content, and brand-safety issues at scale instead of relying on after-the-fact human review; and where this technology is headed as live and remote video keeps outpacing human review capacity.
Speakers:
Simon Lecointe, Head of Field Engineering, TwelveLabs
Steve Nathans-Kelly, VP & Editor-in-Chief, Streaming Media
