Abstract: This chapter summarizes the various aspects covered in this book about Video 4.0, the next generation of video media. The chapter identifies the new mediatech building blocks; their current lack of success; the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of video, including the enhancement and integration of technological building blocks, and the empowerment of users.
