AI and AV 2024: Insights from Nureva
Transforming the Pro AV Industry: The Impact of AI and Cloud Technology
In the world of Professional Audio-Visual (Pro AV) technology, the future is set to be shaped by two powerful forces – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud technology. According to a multitude of industry thought leaders, these technologies are poised to drive substantial growth, innovation, and increased efficiency within the Pro AV sector.
Market Growth Fueled by AI and Cloud
The global AV market is projected to reach a staggering $475 billion by 2030, with AI, AR/VR, IoT, and smart technologies playing a significant role. AI adoption in AV is growing at approximately 10% annually, and AI-powered features such as automated video editing, speech recognition, real-time analytics, and predictive maintenance are becoming essential.
AI Enhances AV Capabilities
AI technology is enabling innovations in spatial audio, multi-camera intelligent framing, room analytics (such as AI-driven people counting), and immersive 3D content. These advancements are set to elevate user engagement and experience in meetings, presentations, and digital signage.
Cloud Integration Accelerates Efficiency and Scalability
Cloud platforms like Crestron’s XIO Cloud offer enterprise-wide analytics, enabling smart space management and hybrid work optimization. Cloud technology supports real-time data aggregation and remote management in command and control environments, a growing niche in Pro AV with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) near 3.5% through 2030.
Security and Cyber Trust Are Critical
As AI-driven video surveillance and access control systems expand, cybersecurity frameworks including compliance with federal regulations and Cyber Trust marks are increasingly important. Industry leaders emphasize the need for proactive cybersecurity to prevent vulnerabilities in AI-enabled AV systems.
Productivity and User Experience Gains
Integration of AI with cloud services like Microsoft Azure OpenAI enables rapid development of smart AV applications and virtual assistants that automate routine tasks, enhance collaboration, and personalize experiences. These advancements are expected to lead to significant time savings and improved operational efficiency.
Industry Leader Perspectives
At recent AV industry events such as InfoComm 2025, leaders highlighted the importance of AI-driven product development, cloud-enabled spatial sound, and data analytics. The vision is for Pro AV systems not only to deliver content but to provide actionable space metrics, security, and immersive experiences powered by AI and cloud infrastructure.
In conclusion, the integration of AI and cloud technology in Pro AV will lead to market expansion, smarter and more automated systems, enhanced user engagement, and stricter security standards. Industry experts predict these technologies will be central to the next era of Pro AV innovation and deployment through 2030.
