There has been a rise in smart devices and a shift towards conducting much of our day-to-day lives online. And of course, artificial intelligence, or AI, has entered the industry as well. What role has AI played in transforming the publishing industry, and what lies ahead?

2. What Can AI Do To Help The Publishing
Industry?
• Publishing and media have been undergoing a rapid transformation as
technological developments change the way that people work and plan
their approach to tasks.
• There has been a rise in smart devices and a shift towards conducting
much of our day-to-day lives online.
• This has resulted in print journalism becoming much less popular as online
journalism takes over.
• E-readers have made whole libraries accessible from anywhere in the
world with an internet connection, which in turn has influenced trends in
content creation and marketing. And of course, artificial intelligence, or AI,
has entered the industry as well.

3. How are Publishers Using AI?
• To understand the role that AI plays in publishing, it is important to
understand the stages of the publishing process.
• According to Publishers Association, 2017 is when the majority of
publishers began to really invest in AI tools.
• By tagging and sorting content, AI assists in making it easier for people to
find and consume the media they want.
• AI can identify trends in what consumers are reading to assist in content
acquisition and market prediction.
• AI is also used to check for plagiarism and avoid and create brief
summaries or snippets for social media of articles.

4. AI Tools for Research and Writing
• Research is a key aspect of any kind of writing, and as such, there have
been a great number of resources devoted to developing AI tools for
researchers.
• Tools like Google Scholar help locate relevant research and track citations
and other metrics.
• A growing number of tools including EndNote, EverNote, and Mendeley
help you organize your notes, references, and bibliographies.
• The all-in-one AuthorONE offers an array of tools in one platform for
researchers, providing help in summarizing research, identifying
appropriate journals to publish in, plagiarism checks, and more.

5. AI Tools for Research and Writing
• In other words, AI tools like these are helping researchers automate or at
least ease the tedious, repetitive tasks that are a necessary part of
research.
• AI can even help format manuscripts to fit the requirements of specific
academic journals prior to submission.
• A number of AI writing tools exist as well to help writers and researchers
improve the quality of their writing. Clear, concise writing is essential for
any writer, particularly academics.

6. AI Tools for Research and Writing
• While it is possible to engage the services of professional editors and
publishing assistants like Enago, specialized AI tools like Trinka, which is
designed for academics and researchers and provides tailored academic
editing, are also becoming increasingly popular.
• By incorporating tools like these, editors can reduce their workload, speed
up their workflow, and improve the overall quality of their work.
• At the same time, writers and researchers can self-edit as they go, which
further smooths workflow and efficiency.

7. The Use of AI in Academic Publishing
• Another area that has seen rapid uptake of AI tools is academic
publishing. There has been an increase in AI tools designed specifically for
those performing research, academic writing, and technical writing.
• Similarly, a growing number of AI tools are being designed to perform the
specific tasks required by academic publishers.
• These include plagiarism and copyright checks as well as tools to identify
peer reviewers and locate relevant research for authors.
• As academic publishing struggles to overcome its own biases and past
errors, AI has the potential to offer unbiased selection of peer reviewers
and increase the diversity of authors who are published.

8. The Future of AI in Publishing
• While AI tools are increasingly helpful in a variety of roles within the
publishing industry, we are a long way off from being able to lie back and
relax while robots do our jobs for us.
• One recurring issue with AI tools is that they are limited by the data inputs
they learn from.
• Another problem is that AI simply doesn’t have the ability to distinguish all
of the nuances of tone, context, and other aspects of language that make
human communication so unique.
• All in all, while there is certainly a place for AI in the publishing industry, the
likelihood appears that this place is next to humans, not instead of them.
