The advent of AI tools like ChatGPT has freelancers navigating tricky waters. We’re exploring the tools and figuring out how to incorporate them into our own work effectively and ethically. At the same time, we might be working with clients who are asking questions or coming to us with their own processes – which may or may not align with ours.

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the latest thinking on the use of AI tools and how to talk with clients about it.
