The headline and actual text of PW's coverage of their own US Book Show suggests they expected AI to be a big deal across the program, but it was actually kind of dud, when it came up at all. 🙃
Maybe it's time to stop trying to make Fetch happen?
From copyright and marketing to audiobooks and literary translation, the incursion of artificial intelligence was a hot topic among industry leaders at this year’s U.S. Book Show, held at the New York Academy of Medicine on June 3.
PW's "Book Banning in America" panel discussion is outlining the dystopian reality librarians are dealing with — from politically motivated book challenges to incredulous media coverage helping spread misinformation.
Speaking out invites slanderous accusations and risks losing your job, largely because an ignorant, bigoted vocal minority who hate diversity are being incited by well-funded groups that hate public education.
