The Advisory Clinic discuss AI and its future implications.

What does AI mean for the publishing industry and the authors, editors, illustrators, translators and other creators who work within its eco-system? What are the ethical, legal and practical concerns? How can authors benefit from the new technologies while safeguarding their interests?

Join hosts Johanna Clarke and Theo Jones for a chance to catch-up on this timely and important discussion, originally presented as part of the SoA@Home festival of online events on 13 November 2023.

SoA chief executive Nicola Solomon chairs the panel which features lawyer and founding partner at Lewis Silkin, Cliff Fluet, tech philosopher and author, Dr Tom Chatfield and publisher and CEO of Hachette, David Shelley.
