An Overview of AI in Publishing - Thad McIlroy in Publishers Weekly

This recent article, How Publishers Can Navigate the AI Revolution, is well-worth reading.

Thad gives a brief overview and history of Artificial Intelligence, including how much of it is already integrated into our lives, discusses ChatGPT and some of its competitors, how AI might integrate with publishing (mentioning the author push-back happening about uncompensated use of copyrighted books to train AI systems), and the importance of "HITL" which Thad defines as:

”the human in the loop—an acknowledgement that AI is not autonomous but rather an interaction between humans and machines, and that the machine is merely a tool.”

Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
