Like it or hate it, artificial intelligence is an inescapable feature of work and life for writing and publishing today. The tools and services you use already include AI technology, including Microsoft Word, Grammarly, Gmail, and Google Docs. Eventually, AI will be an accepted and normal part of the writing and publishing process.
Jane Friedman will discuss how AI is being used by authors and publishers for positive and creative ends. There are legal, safe, and effective ways to use free and paid AI tools to help you with marketing, research, brainstorming, and deciphering the latest contract you’ve been sent. Of course, there are plenty of bad actors using AI, too, and Jane will describe the most prevalent types of fraud or infringement, and what you can do if you find yourself affected. We’ll look at how to talk with your agent and publisher about use of AI in connection with your work, plus other steps you can take to protect your rights and intellectual property.
Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to The Authors Guild Foundation.
