How is TAMS reshaping media production? From concept to industry standard
<p>Once a research concept, the Time‑Addressable Media Store is now a real‑world workflow beginning to make its mark on media production.</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of Inside R&D, Joseph Turner speaks to Sam Mesterton‑Gibbons, a senior engineer at the heart of TAMS. Together, they explore what TAMS is, why it was built, and how it’s been designed to support fast‑turnaround, cloud‑native ways of working. Sam reflects on the role of open standards, collaboration across the industry, and what it really takes to evolve media production without losing sight of editorial values. From live workflows to emerging uses of automation, this conversation offers a glimpse into how TAMS could influence what comes next for the industry.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the links below to learn more about BBC R&D’s research and the things mentioned in this episode:<br></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/W7WAV65duj0">https://youtu.be/W7WAV65duj0</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-cloud-software-based-broadcast-facilities" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-cloud-software-based-broadcast-facilities</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-time-addressable-media-store">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-time-addressable-media-store</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-ibc-2025">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-09-ibc-2025</a><br></p><p><a href="https://tech.ebu.ch/dmf/mxl" target="_blank">https://tech.ebu.ch/dmf/mxl</a></p><p> </p><p>Find us on:<br>Website: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd</a><br>Mastodon: <a href="https://social.bbc/@BBCRD">https://social.bbc/@BBCRD</a><br>X: <a href="https://x.com/bbcrd">https://x.com/bbcrd</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/bbcresearchanddevelopment">https://facebook.com/bbcresearchanddevelopment</a></p>

Does AI research contribute to public value? Why the BBC must be part of the conversation.
<p>Danijela Horak led AI Research at BBC R&D for three years. Before she departed in 2025, we had the opportunity to reflect with her on why AI research matters for public service.</p><p>In this conversation, we unpack the strategic and cultural role of AI research within a public service organisation, and why responsible development and participation matter as much as innovation. From shaping standards and expectations to understanding the risks of disengagement, this episode examines why sustained investment in AI research is vital to delivering public value in an AI‑driven future.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the links below to learn more about BBC R&D’s research and the things mentioned in this episode:<br></p><p>R&D's AI & ML research page - <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/topics/artificial-intelligence-machine-learning/" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/topics/artificial-intelligence-machine-learning/</a></p><p>BBC Verify - <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/bbcverify" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/bbcverify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-ai-content-detection" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-ai-content-detection</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/deepfake-detection-image-manipulation" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/deepfake-detection-image-manipulation</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/reliable-deepfake-detection-" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/reliable-deepfake-detection-</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2025/articles/bbc-to-launch-new-generative-ai-pilots-to-support-news-production/" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2025/articles/bbc-to-launch-new-generative-ai-pilots-to-support-news-production/</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-natural-language-processing-news-editorial-tools" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-natural-language-processing-news-editorial-tools</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-computer-vision-virtual-production-archives-anonymisation">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/articles/2025-10-computer-vision-virtual-production-archives-anonymisation</a><br><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002792v" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002792v</a></p><p><br></p><p>Find us on:<br>Website: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd">https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd</a><br>Mastodon: <a href="https://social.bbc/@BBCRD">https://social.bbc/@BBCRD</a><br>X: <a href="https://x.com/bbcrd">https://x.com/bbcrd</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/bbcresearchanddevelopment">https://facebook.com/bbcresearchanddevelopment</a></p>
