DESCRIPTION:Generative AI has been in the book business long enough that t
 he question is no longer whether writers and publishing professionals need
  to pay attention\, but how to make sound decisions when the law\, the tec
 hnology\, and industry norms are shifting month to month. In this session\
 , publishing industry expert Jane Friedman offers a briefing on the curren
 t landscape\, drawn from her ongoing reporting for her newsletter The Bott
 om Line. She'll cover the legal picture (such as the $1.5 billion Anthropi
 c settlement\, now approved and moving toward payouts)\; the new suits aga
 inst Google and Meta brought by publishers\; and what the US Copyright Off
 ice actually says about copyrighting AI-assisted work. She looks at what p
 ublishers and agents are doing\, from AI detection systems and manuscript 
 summarization to AI narration\, translation\, and the animation and short-
 form video deals at HarperCollins. She'll also comment on industry flashpo
 ints\, including new research arguing that AI-assisted titles are diluting
  the market. Whatever your position on AI\, you'll leave with a practical 
 sense of what's happening in the current market and what questions remain 
 unanswered (spoiler alert: mostly all of them).\n\nJane Friedman has spent
  her entire career working in the publishing industry\, with a focus on bu
 siness reporting and author education. Established in 2015\, her newslette
 r The Bottom Line provides nuanced market intelligence to thousands of aut
 hors and industry professionals\; her book\, The Business of Being a Write
 r\, Second Edition (The University of Chicago Press)\, is used as a classr
 oom text by many writing and publishing degree programs and received a sta
 rred review from Library Journal.

 Few possess Sarah Isgur’s deep level of insights and expertise when it c

 iety is being reshaped around them. Regarded among the nation’s most rep
 utable and in-the-know political commentators\, Isgur is a popular pundit 
 and powerhouse media personality who is instantly recognizable from her ap

 r politics and policy to the table and is incredibly skilled at articulati
 ng her insights and opinions on today’s hot-button issues with respect t
 o all sides and in a way that invites further discourse and openness to al
 ternate viewpoints. With her sharp wit and humor\, she restores a level of
  fun to political discussions that has been missing in recent years and cr
 eates a comfortable setting to tackle the topics we’re often afraid to d
 iscuss. As she unwraps everything from headline news to important matters 
 that are flying under the radar\, she presents the facts in a way that ena

 opinions on where they stand on the issues that are keeping our leaders up
  at night.\n\nIsgur previously served as the spokesperson for the Office o
 f Public Affairs at the DOJ and\, during her tenure\, was also counsel to 
 the deputy attorney general during the Russia Investigation. Before that\,

 od of our nation.\n\nThere will be a book signing after the event with boo
