It’s that time of year again! The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is back in Las Vegas, showcasing the latest and greatest in broadcast and media technology.
The NAB Show has been an annual tradition since 1991 in its current form, but its roots go way deeper—dating all the way back to 1923. That’s nearly a century of innovation, long before television even existed!
Fast forward to 2025, and we’re a long way from vacuum tubes and short-wave radios. This year, one thing is clear—AI is dominating the conversation. From small startups to industry giants like Google, everyone is racing to integrate artificial intelligence into their workflows.
AI-Powered Tools Take the Spotlight
While we’re still waiting to see all the big reveals at the Las Vegas Convention Center, AI is sure to be a hot topic across the exhibit floor. One company already making waves is Adobe, which recently added more AI-powered tools to Premiere Pro.
Instead of replacing human editors, Adobe is using AI to enhance workflow efficiency. A great example is the Generative Extend tool, which lets editors extend a clip by up to two seconds. This simple feature makes transitions smoother by creating footage that wasn’t actually captured during filming—but still looks natural.

That two-second limit isn’t random—any longer and the AI-generated footage might start to look artificial. But with Adobe leading the charge, other companies are sure to bring their own AI innovations to NAB.
The Future of AI in Hardware
Beyond software, a big question remains: How will AI integrate with hardware? Cameras, lighting rigs, and production gear will be everywhere at NAB 2025, and we can expect AI to play a growing role in these tools. The real magic will come when software and hardware work together seamlessly, unlocking new possibilities for content creators.
