Our vision is to be 'More than TV' building upon ITV's unique and winning combination of creativity and commercial strength. ITV, as an integrated producer broadcaster, creates, owns and distributes high-quality content on multiple platforms globally. We also continue to diversify our business through the opportunities presented from consumers’ willingness to pay for great content and to engage with ITV as a trusted brand. We aim to be a digitally led entertainment and media company that creates and brings brilliant content to audiences, wherever, whenever and however they choose. So where does data and Artificial Intelligence fit on all this? 

A truly digitally led company is driven by the smart use of data and sophisticated, automated decision making across all its departments and processes. Our strategy is to combine the best creative minds in the industry with the art of the possible in AI to deliver business facing outcomes. Imagine working with our commissioning teams to explore how we might use AI to predict what programmes viewers will want to watch in the future. Or imagine partnering with our scheduling teams to work on how best to optimise the schedules for our channels to keep bringing families together and drive ITV’s success. Working with our colleagues in studios to make more of our brilliantly produced content available globally. Think about how AI can enable the personalisation of our digital experiences, serving millions of users daily, at large scale and in some instances real time. Using it for commercial purposes so brands can better reach target audiences, but we’re not about the black box, we have a strong social purpose and will be looking to ensure our work is explainable and ethical.

These are only some of the big questions we want your help to get right. So if you want to kickstart your career in AI at the UK’s biggest commercial broadcaster, look no further.
