Digital Hollywood AI Festival tackles conversational AI hallucination crisis

Digital Hollywood’s AI & Entertainment Summit is set to tackle one of enterprise AI’s most persistent problems: trust. On July 21, 2026, the session “Conversational AI: Reliable Intelligence – Verification & Data Accuracy” will bring together legal, cybersecurity, product, and media technology experts to dissect why hallucination, confabulation, outdated training data, and deliberate data poisoning are daily realities—not edge cases. Moderated by Jason Henderson, an attorney specializing in media and IP licensing, the panel includes Greg Young (VP for Cybersecurity at Trend Micro), Tyler Bell (SVP Product for AI, Video & Sports at Gracenote), and Ben Hollin (media tech consultant). The conversation will center on the operational crisis that occurs when conversational AI is embedded in critical workflows like scriptwriting, marketing, legal briefs, and stock recommendations, but cannot be fully trusted.

As AI adoption accelerates across studios, networks, brands, and newsrooms, the question of data integrity shifts from theoretical to operational. The session will explore verification mechanisms, who bears responsibility when an AI system produces false or harmful output, and how data infrastructure companies are building guardrails for accuracy. Tyler Bell brings product leadership from The Trade Desk and Roku, while Greg Young offers deep cybersecurity expertise as a former Gartner analyst. Ben Hollin, with over two decades in media tech, rounds out a panel designed to give enterprise professionals actionable insights on verifying AI-generated intelligence in a world where answers arrive in seconds but truth takes longer. The summit is free to attend and runs July 20–22, 2026.
