From generative writing tools to augmented publishing processes, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing and challenging the landscape of creative writing and publishing. This free four-part webinar series, the second series of webinars from MyWorld and Bath Spa University’s Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries (CCCI) and Narrative and Emerging Technologies (NET) Lab, offers an in-depth look at AI’s emerging influence across writing and publishing in multiple fields. 

Join artist Janet Biggs and Nadim Sadek, founder & CEO of Shimmr AI, to explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of creativity. We will share experiences, explore diverging attitudes, showcase innovative projects and discuss the role of AI in augmenting human creativity. 

We hope to inspire lively debate and a sharing of ideas and there will be time for questions and discussions. All four webinars in the series are free to attend.
