AI is upon us and it is causing the publishing industry to rethink its normal processes. We are not experts in AI. But we are experts in advocating for our clients. Four literary agents talk about how AI changes things like contracts.
Here at the beginning of 2025 there are a lot of things affecting the publishing industry. In this episode we have a conversation about generative AI and how it is changing the way publishers, authors, and agents have to think about "work". We discuss using books to train AI models (boo), we talk about the ways AI is making the industry more accessible for some people, and we talk about the ways we are advocating for our clients in light of this new technology.
