A+ Kids is an educational linear TV, VOD & OTT services supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) gamified educational digital platform for kids aged 3-7 focusing on learning English, math, science and the world around us. Integrating videos and games - all packaged into a simple to use gamified world.
For those who don't know, MultiChoice's potential new owners Canal+ (through Thema Distribution) has been supplying A+ Kids to consumers in parts of Europe and Africa. One has to wonder with the French broadcaster eyeing DStv if they'll look to get some if not all their services from Francophone markets on the platform.
MultiChoice had outlined that the transaction would lead them to additional content and services. This could also include aligning/integrating the offering of Canal+ Afrique with that of DStv.
Artificial intelligence has already seen dominance that Google and X (Formerly Twitter) incorporate it to their daily operations and I hear Sky News is diving into the digital world with AI being added to the mix. It is only a matter of time till MultiChoice (with a fallen DStv base) looks to incorporate in order to minimise jobs and save money.
Since 2023, Google has destroyed the livelihoods of several independent sites including HouseFresh, Retrododo, Giant Freakin Robot and Ready Steady Cut. Some of these sites generated part of their revenue through ads which was used to pay employees and other expenses with traffic being diverted has led such businesses to even close.
I'm not saying AI is bad entirely there's A+ Kids which is constructed for educational purposes but it is a job stealer. Look at Mindset on channel 319, within each course you have a different invigilator for each subject unlike AI+ Kids which relies on animation and a voice typing machine.
