AI Powered Drupal: A new era for content creation and management
Time: Wednesday 19th October 14:50-15:25
Room: Ballroom 1
Track: User Experience & Content
The world is changing rapidly. The developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence over the past decade have been significant with powerful models being developed and made readily available via APIs. The last few years in particular have seen stunning breakthroughs with the release of classification models for text and images, large language models such as GPT3 and image generation services such as DALL E 2. It really feels like we are living in the future.
How does this apply to Drupal? Many of the new AI powered services are focussed on content, either augmenting it or creating it. They are therefore a natural ally to CMSs such as Drupal. This presentation will review these developments and will point to a number of pathways for integration into Drupal to improve the content creation process.
The following conceptual areas will be covered
- How Drupal can be used as a data source for model training
- How data can be integrated back into Drupal for tagging, summarisation and content authoring.
A new Drupal contrib module will be announced which provides a general purpose solution for the integration of AI systems into Drupal for content augmentation.
- Content summarisation
- Content classification
- Image classification
The presentation will be of interest:
- Anyone interested in the future of content
- Content strategists
- Developers
