The Changing Standards Landscape: 17th Annual NISO/BISG Forum: Artificial Intelligence in Book Publishing

Scope

This forum will explore the profound impacts artificial intelligence poses to the book publishing industry, from enhancing efficiencies and accessibility to addressing ethical concerns.  AI promises streamlined editing, enhanced marketing, and improved accessibility through text-to-speech.

This event offers insight into AI-informed publishing’s future while advocating for ethical and regulatory concerns.
