AI is the hottest tech topic since the launch of the internet. But for many publishing professionals, there’s still a lot of mystery about what it is and how it can help with our day to day lives. There are many concerns around how it is being deployed and the impact on quality, copyright and people’s roles.
However, many are quietly working in the background, testing new tools to find ways to solve specific problems that can improve internal processes. AI isn’t just a magic sticking plaster – it needs to be done well, for the right reasons, and with humans overseeing its use and results. But when this all comes together, it can be transformative for publishing professionals.
Join us online on Zoom on Wednesday 12th June from 6:00 – 7:00pm to hear directly from those pioneers who are using AI to remodel and revolutionise their workflows.
You’ll come away with a list of tools and inspiration to play with and unlock the power of AI to supercharge your work.
