As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to rapidly advance, editors face a growing number of ethics questions and concerns about the use of AI in editorial work.

Join us for a presentation from editor and AI policy expert Amy Frushour Kelly about responsible AI content policy and how to talk to writers about the use of AI.

Editor and instructor Erin Servais will then join Amy for an open Q&A on AI ethics in the editorial industry.

The Bay Area Editors’ Forum (BAEF) is partnering with the SF/Bay Area Chapter of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) for this event, which is open to our respective members. This event will not be offered virtually or recorded.
