Linus Idahosa: AI as a Beacon of Innovation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging as one of the most significant trends to impact the global creative industry. Its potential to drive unprecedented growth and transformation within the sector is immense. it has become a cornerstone for innovation and advancement.

At the Del-York Group, we recognize the transformative power of AI in reshaping the contours of creativity and storytelling. As CEO of the group, I am personally committed to ensuring that across all our subsidiaries, AI is not just an add-on but a fundamental part of our operational ethos.

AI’s role in the creative industry is multifaceted, extending from enhanced content creation to personalised user experiences, and even more complex applications like predictive analytics in market trends. In our commitment to staying ahead of the curve, both our Creative Agency and the Del-York Creative Academy (DCA) are prioritising disruptive AI technologies. By integrating AI into our curriculum, we are preparing the young, vibrant creative minds in Nigeria to develop the necessary capacities to propel the creative industry into the future. Our students and professionals are being equipped with the knowledge and tools to harness AI, not only as a means of optimising creative processes but also as a medium of artistic expression in itself.

The creative industry cannot afford to remain anchored in the legacy business models of the past. To thrive, it must be perpetually on the brink of change, embracing new technologies and methodologies. Our vision is to cultivate an environment where creativity meets technology, leading to groundbreaking content and narratives that resonate globally. As we continue to forge this path, the promise of AI stands as a beacon of innovation, guiding the Nigerian creative industry towards a future marked by endless possibilities and new horizons.
