Editors + AI = ?? An Introduction to the Future of Editing

As an editor, have you test-driven any artificial intelligence (AI) technology programs yet? Or maybe you’ve already jumped in and are refining your opinion about the value of using AI tech applications in your editorial work? Do you view AI as a threat or a tool…or maybe as both?

Please join us when Erin Servais, editor and AI expert, walks us through an overview of AI, guides us through AI functionalities in an editorial workflow via several use cases, and offers her forecast of how AI will affect the editing profession. We can discuss facts vs fiction and compare notes, as we consider the effects of AI increasingly being integrated into our ever-evolving industry. Bring your questions!

Erin Servais launched AI for Editors in 2023 as a training program designed to enable editing professionals to incorporate AI technology tools effectively and ethically in their work. Erin is a board member of ACES: The Society for Editing and a UC San Diego copyediting instructor.
