AI is transforming the way we edit, write, and create—but where do we draw the ethical line?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the ethics of AI in publishing to explore some of the biggest ethical questions editors and writers face in the age of AI.
Are AI tools a helpful assistant or a threat to creativity? How do we ensure fairness, accuracy, and integrity in AI-assisted editing?
I interview Amy Frushour Kelly, editor and AI content policy consultant who is an advocate for the ethical use of generative AI in the editing and writing professions by promoting AI ethics, literacy, and editor-specific training in policy development.
She teaches the AI Content Policy for Editors course and is a frequent presenter at conferences on AI ethics for editors and content creators. Amy has 30 years of editing experience in journalism, technical writing, finance, and content marketing.
Amy currently serves on the ACES Board of Directors and is a member of Editorial Freelancers Association (ACES), Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), and Professional Editors Network (PEN).
