Choosing the right AI provider for auto-tagging images in Digital Asset Management
Conrad Henson, Product Marketing Manager for OpenText provides some basic insights into choosing an AI-based auto-tagging solution for your DAM system. Conrad opens by highlighting the more common issues that are raised, including metadata that is too broad or generic, and regional differences in language and vocabulary. It’s clear from his research that there’s still no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution, and that it’s crucial for businesses to compare results from a number of different AI providers. OpenText’s approach is to “preserve customer choice when selecting an AI image analysis service“. To this end, their Media Management DAM system offers out-of-the-box integration with image recognition services from Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and can be easily extended to work with any any AI provider.
