Many editors are already seeing a drop in the amount of editing and proofreading work available because clients are turning to AI tools instead of human editors. This session will help editors explore other kinds of work that build on their existing skills and experience—work that AI can’t do. Editors at all stages of their careers will learn to think beyond track changes and put their knowledge to work in a more expansive marketplace.
