The value of sports content remains strong, with broadcast revenue growing in emerging sectors such as niche sporting events and e-sports. But the industry is undergoing massive changes driven by new technologies and business models -- with some sectors under duress. Securing live sports revenue is critical to the pay-TV industry's cable and satellite packages, which have been decreasing year over year as sports leagues pursue new direct-to-consumer OTT models.
“It’s a pleasure to speak alongside some of the industry’s foremost experts that see firsthand the challenges facing sports broadcasting today,” Bolden said. “The SportsPro OTT Summit USA event serves as the preeminent venue for discussing the importance of collaborative anti-piracy efforts such as DRM and watermarking to prevent stream ripping and similar crimes that significantly impact bottom lines.”
Featuring more than 50 sessions, 80 thought leaders and thousands of peers, OTT Summit USA 2021 focuses on three main themes – strategy, content and technology. To register for the event, visit https://usa.sportspro-ott.com/registration.

Vara Receives World-First CE Certification for Autonomous AI in Breast Cancer Screening2.9.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Vara has received CE certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation (Class IIb) for autonomous triage in organised breast cancer screening – the first breast AI certified anywhere to report screening examinations as normal without radiologist review. In autonomous triage, examinations the system classifies as clearly normal can be reported by AI without a radiologist reading them; every other examination continues to be read by at least one radiologist. This deployment mode is intended for organised population screening, where a shrinking radiologist workforce is straining programmes that still read every mammogram twice. The certification has only been possible because Vara has developed a safety system that supervises the autonomous use of its AI models. "What made this possible is not the AI model alone," said Stefan Bunk, CTO and co-founder of Vara. "It is based on seven years of continuous monitoring of how our AI performs in the real world, on every single case. That experi
