AI!

We’ve all heard and read about it. How it will change our life and writing how it is already. But what is scare, what is hype, what is reality, threat, and opportunity? In the new frontier of deep fakes, how do we know what is real and where can we go to find information that we can trust?

In this 5-video series, Leslie Dow Ph.D., SavvyAuthors Site Director, software development process, and cybersecurity professional cut through the chaff about AI and what it means for you as an author. This survey class explores the history of AI and future trends and includes examples and demos.

Leslie will also occasionally update this with new information about AI and how writers are using it.
